Learning Outcomes

After completion of this module, the students have gained profound hands-on experience working with IEEE 802.11-based wireless access points, OpenWrt and essential network measurement, debugging and analyzing tools. Essentially, they will acquire the basics in the field of IEEE 802.11-based network management and configuration including authentication, association, encryption schemes and capability management. Moreover, they will measure and evaluate the impact of wireless interference, rate and power control on the transport layer performance. They will build up technical expertise on IEEE 802.11 behavior in wireless networking environments through various experiment setups and performance evaluations.

Content

In this lab course, the students will carry out experiments using IEEE 802.11-based wireless access points. The experiments will start with introductions to tools of the trade (Linux wireless interface configuration, tcpdump, data plotting tools) to provide a guide how to collect measurements and analyze them. The experiments will range from performance measurements, inner workings of the IEEE 802.11 MAC and impact of wireless interference, rate and power control on the transport layer performance. Furthermore, the students will be given hands-on experience on WLAN management and configuration including authentication, association, encryption schemes and capability management. In each experiment, the students will be setting up different wireless networking scenarios, working with real wireless hardware, analyzing performance under varying protocol parameters and node/network conditions, and comparing different solutions.
