A linear response surface analysis approach to evaluate QoS factors in wireless networks / Jan Adriaan Brand

With the growth of wireless networks and the increase in personal internet use for a wide
diversity of applications, the importance of the quality of service (QoS) delivered to clients
has become of great importance. In order to evaluate QoS, this study explores the
application of the linear response surface analysis (LRSA) technique as an evaluation tool
for QoS factors such as Throughput and Delay. An 802.11n prototype wireless network is
constructed in order to capture QoS data that is then used to construct LRSA models in
order to evaluate the QoS factors. The LRSA models are maximised and minimised while
constraining specific measured QoS factors and the subsequent results are analysed. Based
on this analysis, recommendations for the improvement of wireless networks are made as
well as the use of the LRSA technique to evaluate QoS within a wireless network. / Thesis (MSc (Computer Science))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2013
