Abstract :
This paper presents the results from simulation and tests of a UHF multimedia wireless Local Area Network (LAN). This wireless LAN supports simultaneous data and voice communications and image transfers. After a brief description of the wireless LAN testbed, the protocol stack used for the experiment and simulation is introduced. The simulation and experimental results on the measured voice quality, delays and throughput for simultaneous image and voice transfers are then presented and discussed. The results are also discussed from the point of view of the maximum number of users in such a network, its geographical spread and the maximum number of simultaneous user sessions
