Abstract

To date, wireless access network is deemed essential in many domains of the industry and the academic. The wireless access technology allows a user to be mobile within the local coverage and remain connected to the network. In a highly-dense residential area, each resident unit may be associated with a single wireless network. Multiple wireless network in proximity can lead to interference, due to the limited availability of wireless channel to be selected. Therefore, the accumulation of wireless network in a severely contained area may lead to suboptimal performance. In addition, a particular wireless technology, which is Wireless Mesh Networks (WMN) is extremely dependent on the mesh topology to provide complete redundancy and reliability to the network connection. Despite such provision, the inherent issue with such arrangement is the radio interference impacted on the wireless communication. This research study aims to quantify the performance of mesh network when exposed to extremely high interference in grid wireless network. In addition, the paper also discusses about the fundamental model of WMN and the simulation tool used in the experiment. The design of experiment is also presented, including the performance metrics to evaluate the wireless performance.
