Abstract

Co-Channel Interferences (CCI) and Adjacent Channel Interference (ACI) are among the major interferences exists in wireless mesh network (WMN). However CCI is believed to affect severely WMN because each mesh routers must operate in the same channel to make sure they can communicate each other. Social network is very popular now. As we know, the social network consist both non-streaming and streaming traffics. Study in year 2010 shows that CCI in WMN at 2.4GHz affected severely non-streaming applications. The main reason suggested for the problem is due to poor channelization at 2.4GHz. The problem is claimed may be reduced for devices operating at 5GHz. Therefore, it is interesting to investigate the effects of CCI in WMN on different traffic patterns in social network at 5GHz band to observe whether poor channelization was actually contributed to the higher CCI at 2.4GHz. The main objective is to investigate whether CCI affecting the throughput performance of both non-streaming and streaming protocols in WMN at 5GHz. Comparison shall be made with 2.4GHz results. In this thesis, WMN test-bed was designed and developed using 4 mesh routers. The performance of each mesh client was evaluated by measure the throughput/goodput of WMN and WLAN using suitable software. Then the throughput data between WMN and WLAN was compared and analysed. The results obtained are definitely differ from 2.4GHz WMN. Throughput for WMN using 5GHz band was much better than 2.4GHz WMN. In addition to know how much the throughput was affected from CCI, the results between WMN and WLAN were compared and the results were unexpected. There were no larger different in term of throughput in WMN. The research was concluded that there a better performance achieve in WMN using 5GHz in the same time it reduce the impact of CCI in WMN.
