Throughput Measurements Using IEEE 802.11ac Devices for High-Speed Wireless Networks

摘要

Recently, IEEE802.11ac communication protocols have been introduced for high-speed wireless networks. Then, commercial devices implementing this protocol have been available from several vendors. In this paper, we provide various TCP throughput measurement results using devices from three vendors implementing this protocol under a set of TCP parameters in various conditions including one or two-hop communications, wall obstacle existences, different link distances, and the use of a repeater. Our measurement results show that TCP throughputs are greatly affected by vendors and communication conditions.
