IMPLEMENTATION OF WIRELESS LAN IN UTP

This paper, entitled Implementation ofWireless LAN in UTP environment, looks into the way to implement wireless network in UTP. The main objectives ofthis project are to provide mobile network and internet access using university's network system to students and lecturers and to make it easier and convenient for student to download lecture notes and for lecturers to upload them. Currently, there is no wireless LAN access in UTP environment that can be use by students and staff as alternative opportunity to access and share instant information. Therefore, this project research area is to find out the way to implement wireless LAN using secure Wi-Fi in UTP external environment. For this study, the scope is narrow down to the architecture and design ofwireless LAN network and its developing methodology. Anetwork simulation tool called Network Simulator version 2, or simply known as ns-2, is used to test the efficiency and functionality ofthe designed network. The outcome ofthis project is a good network architecture design that will give high network performance to all users in UTP
