A Robust Method for Estimating Channel Data Rate in Seamless Wi-Fi Networks Operating in the Asynchronous Mode

Abstract

In this paper the robust method for estimating channel data rate was developed for seamless Wi-Fi networks operating in the asynchronous mode. Its effectiveness is analyzed in comparison with the collective dynamic routing method with and without using a robust method for estimating channel data rate on IEEE 802.11ax seamless network segment operating in the synchronous mode, as well as in comparison with static routing. The developed method provides a significant reduction in the valid routes set dimension and the possibility of implementing the collective dynamic routing method on existing equipment. Also it makes possible to obtain higher channel data rates over the network as a whole compared to static routing. However, it loses to the case when network devices operating in the synchronous mode, due to more variants of intra-system interference.
