Assessing the Impact of Wi-Fi Radio Frequency Interference on Mobile Application Quality of ExperienceChow, Brennen 21 December 2015 (has links)
This thesis assesses 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 IEEE 802.11 standards and operates in the unlicensed 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radio frequency bands. This thesis explores the QoE of mobile applications when considering the impact 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 impact of the experienced interference. / Graduate

Previous issue date: 2017-06-05 / Redes Wi-Fi estão presentes desde as residências aos ambientes corporativos e instituições de ensino e pesquisa. Contudo, a qualidade de serviço (QoS) percebida pelo usuário pode ser degradada quando em ambientes congestionados, como em lugares confinados com grande quantidade de usuários. Para lidar com esse problema várias empresas oferecem soluções verticalmente integradas e fechadas, no entanto, os custos de capital (CAPEX), com a aquisição de equipamentos e licenças, e operacionais (OPEX) decorrente do seu gerenciamento são muito altos. O surgimento das redes definidas por software (SDN) viabilizou o desenvolvimento de varias soluções abertas para melhorar o gerenciamento das redes em geral, possibilitando ao administrador da rede programar rotinas dinâmicas de monitoramento, correção de problemas e otimização do uso dos recursos disponíveis, através de um controlador centralizado com visão geral da rede. Considerando a necessidade de soluções abertas para os Institutos Federais de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia e o potencial da programabilidade das redes sem fio definidas por software, várias soluções foram desenvolvidas para lidar com o problema da degradação do QoS, entretanto, das inúmeras soluções existentes na literatura para o gerenciamento e balanceamento de carga nestas redes, a maioria delas não visam ambientes confinados com baixa mobilidade e/ou requerem modificações no dispositivo móvel, criando burocracia para o setor de tecnologia da informação e gerando desconforto aos usuários, que muitas vezes possuem dispositivos que não suportam as mudanças necessárias. Diante deste cenário esta dissertação propõe um arcabouço para balanceamento de carga em redes sem fio (Wi-Fi) utilizando a arquitetura SDN. Existem outras propostas que promovem o balanceamento de carga em redes Wi-Fi, mas são, normalmente, orientadas ao usuário. O foco do arcabouço proposto nesta dissertação é prover uma solução orientada à infraestrutura para ambientes de rede sem fio confinados, densos e com baixa mobilidade como auditórios, salas de aula, anfiteatros, dentre outros. O modelo promove a melhoria da QoS das aplicações dos usuários através do monitoramento de dados estatísticos da rede, coletados a partir da controladora SDN e de rádios de baixo custo com firmware modificado (OpenWRT) e da análise da carga gerada por cada usuário, mitigando assim a assimetria de rede por meio da realocação da carga. Para analisar o arcabouço proposto foi desenvolvido um software, utilizado o controlador SDN Ryu, foram configurados pontos de acesso (AP) e definidos cenários de congestionamento e assimetria em um ambiente de redes sem fio. A partir dos experimentos, foi observado que, os usuários tiveram uma melhoria de QoS considerável enquanto o sistema estava ativado. / Wi-Fi networks are present from residences to corporate environments and education and research institutions. However, user perceived quality of service (QoS) can be degraded when in congested environments, such as in confined spaces with large numbers of users. To deal with this problem several companies offer vertically integrated and closed solutions, but, the capital expenditure (CAPEX), with the acquisition of equipment and licenses, and operational expenditure (OPEX) due to its management are very high. The emergence of software-defined networking (SDN) enabled the development of several open solutions to improve network management, enabling the network administrator to program dynamic monitoring routines, problem correction and optimization of the use of available resources through centralized controller with network overview. Considering the need for open solutions for federal institutes and the potential for programmability of SDN, several solutions have been developed to deal with the QoS degradation problem, nevertheless, of the numerous solutions in the literature for managing and balancing the load on these networks, most of them do not target confined environments with low mobility and / or require modifications in the mobile device, creating bureaucracy for the IT sector and generating discomfort to the users, which often have devices that do not support the necessary changes. Considering this scenario, this dissertation proposes a framework for load balancing in wireless networks (Wi-Fi) using the SDN architecture. There are other proposals that promote load balancing on Wi-Fi networks, they are usually user-oriented. In this dissertation the proposed framework focus is to provide an infrastructure-oriented solution for confined, dense, low mobility wireless network environments such as auditoriums, classrooms and amphitheaters. The proposal improves the QoS of the users’ applications by the monitoring of statistical data from network, collected through the controller SDN and low cost radios with modified firmware (OpenWRT) and analysis of the load generated by each user, thus mitigating the asymmetry through load reallocation. In order to analyze the proposed framework, a software was developed, using the Ryu SDN controller, configured access points (AP) and defined congestion and asymmetry scenarios in a wireless environment. From the experiments, it was observed that, users had a considerable QoS improvement while the system was activated.

Does technology matter: The impact of Wi-Fi on student retentionMiller-Bishop, Emily 25 November 2020 (has links)
This study sought to determine students’ satisfaction with technology, particularly Wi-Fi, and how it may impact retention at one university in the southeast. Differences in satisfaction were analyzed for students who planned to stay versus those who planned to leave, transfer versus native students, and for students of various ages, genders, races, and classifications. Analyses were done to examine the data quantitatively. Significant differences were found between the perceptions of satisfaction with Wi-Fi internet services of native students and transfer student in several categories. Most of the students examined in this study (88.0%) planned to return to the same school with approximately 12.0% of students indicating that they did not plan to return to the same school. The students also provided the reasons for their unwillingness to return to this school. The reasons provided by the students were personal finances, location, family reasons, issues with faculty, staff, or student, tuition cost, graduated, feeling of loneliness, COVID-19, internship, personal problems, decided to transfer, needed a break, and the fact that they did not like the school. Technology is a major factor in the academic structure as faculty, staff, and students rely heavily on technology. Investing in stable Internet/Wi-Fi in the classroom and offices can support enrollment and retention. Retention of students is considered one of the greatest weaknesses in distance education. Retention is a function of collaboration of institutional, personal, and social factors. Retention is a major factor when measuring an institution’s accountability, effectiveness, and quality. Overall, students were very satisfied with the quality of Wi-Fi on campus, and no differences in satisfaction were found between students who planned to return and those who did not. Transfer students were more satisfied with W-Fi on campus than were native students. Satisfaction with Wi-Fi on campus was higher for older students, female students, and graduate students. There were no differences in satisfaction with Wi-Fi on campus for students based on race.
