Assessment

Title

Implementation of Wireless networks and performance evaluation

Purpose of the  assessment

(with ULO  Mapping)

The purpose of the assignment is to compare NS3 simulator with other current  network simulators. Developed, modify and study wireless routing protocols  performance with NS3 simulator. Design and implement Wireless Local Area  Network (WLAN) technology based on IEEE 802.11 standards to ensure efficient  and secure data transmission.

Students will be able to complete the following ULOs:

• Analyse and compare wireless communication protocols.  • Compare standard-based technologies used in various networks. • Test and evaluate various wireless networks performance.
