Abstract

The ever-growing number of wirelss networks met nowadays makes site survey and client requirements evaluation more and more necessary. The paper emphasizes the need for a thorough site survey, both application perspective and network point of view, prior to wireless network deployment in the area to be covered. Performing theoretical, assisted, and manual network site survey, the paper studies the influence of the application frame size and inter-frame delay variation, on received signal level, retries rate, channel throughput, and loss rate as network parameters. These parametric evaluations can prove crucial when setting up a transmitter and can make the difference between a working and a faulty network.
