摘要

无线局域网正在不断地进行广泛的研究和开发，科学家们不断地提出新的方法来改进现有的协议和修改标准。实验评估一直是802.11研究的重要组成部分，然而，测量介质和硬件的详细行为一直具有挑战性。本文设计了一种基于IEEE 802.11的无线局域网诊断工具WiFo。该工具可帮助开发人员和研究人员在用户友好的环境中监控和分析无线信号和细节，例如后退分布。我们的解决方案比现有的工具更便宜，更容易使用，并且通过允许用户添加功能提供了更大的灵活性。然后，我们使用WiFo来研究一些现成硬件及其相应的软件驱动程序的几个方面，并展示一些关于它们如何应用标准规范的有趣结果。

WiFo: A diagnostic tool for IEEE 802.11 MAC

WLANs are constantly undergoing extensive research and development, and scientists keep coming up with new methods to improve existing protocols and amend standards. Experimental assessment has been an important part of 802.11 research, however measuring the detailed behaviour of the medium and hardware has been challenging. In this paper we design a diagnostic tool, WiFo, for IEEE 802.11-based WLANs. This tool helps developers and researchers monitor and analyze the wireless signals and details such as backoff distribution in a user-friendly environment. Our solution is much cheaper and easier to use than existing tools, and provides more flexibility by allowing users to add functionality. We then use WiFo to study several aspects of some off-the-shelf hardware and their corresponding software drivers, and show some interesting results regarding how they apply standard specifications.
