Instructions

Reading digital theses in the closed network of the Aalto University Harald Herlin Learning Centre

In the closed network of Learning Centre you can read digital and digitized theses not available in the open network.

The Learning Centre contact details and opening hours: https://learningcentre.aalto.fi/en/harald-herlin-learning-centre/

You can read theses on the Learning Centre customer computers, which are available on all floors.

Logging on to the customer computers

  • Aalto University staff members log on to the customer computer using the Aalto username and password.
  • Other customers log on using a shared username and password.

Opening a thesis

  • On the desktop of the customer computers, you will find an icon titled:

    Aalto Thesis Database

  • Click on the icon to search for and open the thesis you are looking for from Aaltodoc database. You can find the thesis file by clicking the link on the OEV or OEVS field.

Reading the thesis

  • You can either print the thesis or read it on the customer computer screen.
  • You cannot save the thesis file on a flash drive or email it.
  • You cannot copy text or images from the file.
  • You cannot edit the file.

Printing the thesis

  • You can print the thesis for your personal study or research use.
  • Aalto University students and staff members may print black-and-white prints on the PrintingPoint devices when using the computer with personal Aalto username and password. Color printing is possible using the printer u90203-psc3, which is located near the customer service. Color printing is subject to a charge to Aalto University students and staff members.
  • Other customers can use the printer u90203-psc3. All printing is subject to a charge to non-University members.

Abstract (eng):In this thesis we test the performance of Rate Adaptation mechanisms in 802.11 Wireless Local Area Networks.
We consider three different Rate Adaptation Algorithms i.e.
SampleRate, Onoe and AMRR (Adaptive Multi Rate Retry) available on Atheros Chipsets for which open source MadWiFi (Multi-band Atheros Driver for WiFi) drivers are available.

The performance testing is carried out in a realistic wireless environment realized by using a wireless channel simulator and a set of wireless nodes working in ad-hoc mode.
A set of wireless channels proposed by 802.11 Task Group are used.
The channels can be configured to provide identical environment for testing the different algorithms.
We measure the throughput of different traffic workloads over each algorithm to evaluate and compare how the three algorithms adapt the PHY data rates to the varying wireless channel conditions.

The analysis of the test results helps in better understanding the Rate Adaptation mechanisms and the possible advantages and drawbacks of the different design approaches currently in practice.
