Abstract

Using indoor propagation measurements, the throughput performance of an IEEE 802.11g wireless local area network (WLAN) under different received signal strength (RSS) values is investigated. By using a pair of wireless laptops and an access point (AP) we conducted several experiments involving IEEE 802.11g computer links, which were carried out in an obstructed office block at the AUT University within the School of Computing and Mathematical Sciences office building. Results obtained show that the link throughput of an IEEE 802.11g is not always increasing with RSS in an obstructed office building.
