Devry NETW360 course Project Part 3

(9pts) Include a two page research paper on 802.11ac – Use single spacing, font size 12, normal margins – Make sure to include your sources (at least three references)

(3 pts) Go back to the predictive site survey tool in Course Project Part 2. Select at least 4 of the APs that are available from the pull-down menu, and find their prices.

(2pts) How many wireless clients can one SOHO grade AP support? What about an Enterprise grade AP? Present your findings (make sure to include your sources)

(2pts) Go back to the predictive site survey tool in Course Project Part 2. Select the 2.4 GHz band, and use the Automatic Placement option for the APs. Manually add a few additional AP (3-5 APs). Reposition all the APs as you desire. Select the SNR display option. Include a screen capture.

(2pts) Remove all the APs from the previous question. Select the 5 GHz band. Use the Automatic Placement option for the APs. Manually add a few additional AP (3-5 APs). Reposition all the APs as you desire. Select the SNR display option. Include a screen capture.

(6) What are your conclusions/findings/observations about co-channel and adjacent channel interference in the previous two cases/exercises?

Answer the following questions after reading the technical document, available under Doc Sharing, with the title: “Wireless LAN Design Guide - CISCO”

(2pts) What is Clear Channel Assessment (CCA)?

(2pts) What is the value of the CCA threshold mentioned in this document?

(2 pts) A coverage model describes the achievable data rates based on distance and frequency band. Based on this white paper, what is the achievable throughput on the 2.4GHz band at 440 feet? What is the maximum distance for a throughput of 18Mbps on the 5.0GHz band?

(2 pts) With reference to the previous question, does the coverage model in this white paper use an indoor or outdoor model? Explain the reasoning behind the choice.

(2 pts) What is the major problem on the 5 GHz band as far as the AP/client interaction is concerned?

(2 pts) Based on this white paper, what is the default behavior of a laptop that tries to connect to a WLAN?

(2 pts) Based on this white paper, what is the default behavior of a tablet or smartphone that tries to connect to a WLAN?

(2 pts) Describe a couple of options that are available to a WLAN designer, if it is necessary to maximize a 2.4 GHz connection in a high density client environment.
