Real-time streaming over an IEEE 802.11 b based wireless LAN test bed

Digital Object Identifier: 10.1109/ICPWC.2002.1177267Wireless LAN systems based on IEEE 802.11 (see http://grouper.ieee.org/groups/802/11) have become a path-breaking innovation and have revolutionized the home, educational and office network markets (Kapp, S., IEEE Internet Computing, vol.6, no.1, p.82-5, 2002). We attempt to analyze real-time video streaming issues over a wireless LAN test bed based on such a mature technology. The creation of this test bed is an ongoing effort at the Electrical Engineering & Computer Engineering (EECE) Department at the University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, New Mexico, serving to promote future research and development, under the aegis of Ibero American Science and Technology Education Consortium (ISTEC) (see http://www.istec.org).IEE
