Mais especificamente, foi analisado o impacto que transmissões Bluetooth causam em transmissões de dados IEEE 802.11g. Foram analisados cinco parâmetros: tempo de transmissão, taxa média de transmissão de pacotes, taxa média de transmissão de dados, número de pacotes perdidos e número de pacotes ACK duplicados. Por meio da comparação entre os resultados obtidos para esses parâmetros sem interferência Bluetooth e com interferência Bluetooth, foi possível determinar que a transmissão Bluetooth afetou a transmissão IEEE 802.11g. Os experimentos foram realizados para três distâncias entre os transmissores e receptores Bluetooth e Wi-Fi. Inicialmente, avaliou-se a interferência para a distância de 1,60 m. Em seguida, para 2,60 m e, por fim, para 4,60 m. Para as distâncias de 1,60 m e 2,60 m não havia obstáculos entre os dispositivos de transmissão e recepção. Para a distância de 4,60 m, havia uma parede de alvenaria. Os resultados obtidos mostraram que a interferência Bluetooth na transmissão IEEE 802.11g foi maior com o aumento da distância, sendo mais significativa para a distância de 4,60 m

ABSTRACT PERFORMANCE PARAMETERS OF WIRELESS VIRTUAL PRIVATE NETWORK KZ, S&uuml / heyla Ms.c, Department of Information Systems Supervisor: Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nazife Baykal Co-Supervisor: Assist. Prof. Dr. Yusuf Murat Erten January 2006, 78 pages As the use of PC&rsquo / s and handheld devices increase, it expected that wireless communication would also grow. One of the major concerns in wireless communication is the security. Virtual Private Network (VPN) is the most secure solution that ensures three main aspect of security: authentication, accountability and encryption can use in wireless networks. Most VPNs have built on IP Security Protocol (IPSec) to support end-to-end secure data transmission. IPSec is a wellunderstood and widely used mechanism for wired network communication. Because, wireless networks have limited bandwidth and wireless devices have limited power and less capable CPU, the performance of the networks when VPN&rsquo / s are used is an important research area. We have investigated the use of VPNs in wireless LANs to provide end &ndash / to &ndash / end security. We have selected IPSec as the VPN protocol and investigated the effects of using IPSec on the throughput, packet loss, and delay of the wireless LANs. For this purpose, we have set up a test bed and based, our results on the actual measurements obtained from the experiments performed using the test bed. v The wireless LAN we have used is an 802.11g network and the results show that the performance of the network is adversely affected when VPN&rsquo / s are used but the degradation is not as bad as expected.

ABSTRACT In the past decade there has been a steady growth in development and implementation of wireless Local Area Networks and emerged as in the largest sectors of the telecommunication industry. Wireless local area network (WLANs) provides connectivity, mobility, and much higher performance and achievable data rate. WLAN is a new medium of access technology in the Local Area Network (LAN) world. Mostly WLAN applications are used in public sectors such as airports, banks, hotels, offices, city centres because of the flexibility of the people. Orthongonal Frequency Division Multiplexing OFDM has been adopted by IEEE 802.11’s standard as a transmission technique for high data rate in WLANs. Now IEEE 802.11 standard has been expanded to a family of WLAN standards. 802.11a and 802.11g both are used Orthongonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) but operate in different frequency bands. It is shown that 802.11a provides high speed throughout the entire coverage area and long term solution however it does not provide better solution in most cases as compared to IEEE 802.11g. Matlab Simulation model based on IEEE 802.11a/g using different modulation and demodulation techniques such as BPSK, QPSK and QAM to analysis the best performance of IEEE 802.11a/g with implementation of OFDM. Keywords: Orthongonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM), IEEE 802.11s family, Wireless Local Area Network, Simulation, MATLAB / Summary The objective of this research is to examine the performance of the IEEE 802.11a and IEEE 802.11g WLAN comparing through OFDM modulation techniques. It is found that IEEE 802.11a/g provides similar quality except IEEE 802.11g provides wider range but range is the controversial topic in WLAN medium. In the other hand IEEE 802.11a provides more channels in 5 GHz bands as well as have a good enough signal qualities but there is range limitation factor. Range limitation in the enterprise and public sectors can be adjusting through installations more APs. The main disadvantage of the 802.11g is the frequency band is common and interference from the other networking technology such as Bluetooth, 2.04 GHz cordless phone and IEEE 802.11a avoid this interference because its operate in 5.GHz bands. Consequently, all the simulation is a comparison between simulated BER for a computer system and theoretical BER for serial systems it has been proved through simulation results that theoretical BER and simulated BER under AWGN are good agreement with each other. It means that I and Q points on constellation are much closer to each other the data error can be reduced as well as transmission easily influenced to noise. 64 QAM modulations are much better than 16 QAM when BER decrease SNR will be increase because signal is stronger than noise. 64 QAM modulations need higher bandwidth and give an excellent data rates as compared to 16 QAM.
