Abstract

The one of natural interferences that classified in radio communication is lightning. The occurrence of lightning strokes will generate electromagnetic radiation that causes the Co-Channel Interference (CCI) and Adjacent Channel Interference (ACI) over the Radio Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI). By this phenomena, we believed that the performance of WLAN will be affected severely because the channel of lightning would be interfere the system capacity in same time the value throughput also been affected. Previous study show that lightning induced are affected bit error rate (BER) severely on the frequency that operate below than 1 GHz in 14 different channel that used in walkie-talkie communication. The investigation is extending at two different frequencies: 2.4 GHz and 5.2 GHz which using in Wi-Fi frequency to observe the performance of WLAN by conducting RSSI and Throughput measurement particularly. The result RSSI and both non-streaming and streaming protocol have been collect to investigate the interferences outcomes by lightning-induced and comparison will be made in two scenario which are without lightning and with lightning condition. Observation from the result of throughput measurement, there are different value of average throughput between two different scenario and different frequency that being used. As we discovered, lightning caused a dropped RSSI and the value of throughput also changed.
