Abstract

This paper describes dynamic frequency selection (DFS) as a method to improve wireless local area network (wireless LAN or WLAN) capacity in home environments with focus on reliable media transmission. The gain obtained with this method is evaluated based on measurements of the dynamic behaviour of wireless channels. The application of DFS for each link between two nodes in ad-hoc mode can improve the performance of home media networks.
