ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT:
This seminar will present the assessment the impact of Wi-Fi radio frequency interference (RFI) on mobile application quality of experience (QoE). Wi-Fi is a wireless radio network for transferring data between two end points and is based on the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers' (IEEE) 802.11 standards. Wi-Fi networks operate in the unlicensed 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radio frequency bands. This research explores the QoE of mobile applications when considering the impacts of RFI caused by Wi-Fi access points (WAPs) within a campus Wi-Fi network. The research was conducted to assess the effect of RFI on mobile application network performance metrics. This is evaluated by collecting broadcasted WAPs within a campus network, assessing the experienced RFI, and evaluating the mobile application QoE at specific locations to assess the impacts of the experienced interference.
