Abstract

In the past, WLAN planning was coverage driven to ensure that the signal quality is satisfied in all targeted areas. As the number of users with more high-throughput applications, supported by sophisticated mobile computing devices, continues to grow rapidly on the one hand and on the other hand the new high-speed IEEE 802.11 based WLANs continue to have a significant wireless communication market spread, it has been recognized that capacity is equally important as coverage for the WLAN planning. In this paper, WLANs capacity planning and performance evaluation focusing on the impact of the applications throughput requirements, high-speed IEEE 802.11 WLAN standards and user terminal capabilities are discussed. To investigate the impact of the high-speed WLANs and user terminal capabilities on the network throughput, performance evaluation is carried out by means of measurements, using IEEE 802.11ac and IEEE 802.11n standards.
