Abstract

The wireless mobile allows wireless device to be on the move situation while remaining connected to the wireless network. Most wireless networks are based on the IEEE 802.11 standards. A basic wireless network consists of multiple stations communicating with radios that broadcast in either the 2.4GHz or 5GHz band. Depending on the technology and others factors, a wireless network has a range of 150 to 350 feet from the source of wireless signal. This fmal project is about Wireless Mobile Coverage Analysis at Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI). The main focus for this project is to analyze the UPSI-JARING WiFi Service at Sultan Abdul Jalil Campus, UPS!. WiFi stands for Wireless Fidelity and is used to defme any of the wireless technology in the IEEE 802.11 specification. UPSI-JARING WiFi service is a WiFi wireless broadband Internet service available in main campus, hostels and surrounding areas within 300 meters radius. Using either a laptop or handheld that is WiFi 802.11 big wirelesslyenabled, users can access the Internet or UPSI intranet at speeds up to 50 times faster than dial-up. The UPSI-JARING WiFi Service is using user authentication and each user should registered as member to access into the internet. In this project, the UPSIJARING WiFi Service will focus to analyze about the throughput, bandwidth, and signal performances. The current performances result for this WiFi service will be tested using three tools. First, the Network Stumbler shall be used detect the signal performance of UPSI-JARING WiFi coverage. Second, the Multi Router Traffic Grapher (MRTG) monitoring shall be used to monitor the incoming and outgoing bandwidth performance. Third, JARING Internet Access Bandwidth Test shall be used to monitor the download and upload of bandwidth performance. Then, the current design of this UPSI-JARING WiFi Service simulated into the OPNET Modeler Software. The performance result of bandwidth and throughput will be collected. Finally, an enhancement design will be proposed and simulated into OPNET Modeler to improve the UPSI-JARING WiFi performances.
