PC with Intel Xeon E5-2609 1.7 GHz and 62 GB memory for the analysis node. PC with Intel Core i7 3.2 GHz, 3 GB memory. NVIDIA GeForce GTS 450 for the visualization node.
What they did ?
They generate wireless traffic using a laptop PC. The envelope data (contains one signal strength every 100 us) and the header data are acquired by the sensor node. Visualized traffic in the online mode
In the header data, the red and grey rectangles represent frames transmitted by the laptop PC and the background traffic,respectively.
we can see that there is a frame loss.
There is interference signals transmitted other devices.
Visualized traffic in the offline mode Captures the start and end times of overall frame Transmission.
Captures the periodicity in the
traffic pattern.
Captures the detailed variation in
signal strengths during each frame transmission Conclusion
They proposed a visualization system that displays
PHY and MAC layer data in a synchronized manner over the identical time axis, supporting online and offline use cases for meeting the different requirements in the various assessment tasks of the wireless network administrators. ACKNOWLEDGMENT
