Statistical analysis of redundancy based wire-line and wireless networks

Paper investigates that how the performance of the wireless local area networks (WLANs) is effected by the redundancy in a office environment. Environment has been simulated, where many applications are in use at a time and their mutual effects thereof. Here, OPNET has been used to develop a new model suitable for office/company environment. Performance of the WLANs has been evaluated against two types of applications (FTP and DATABASE) for a office/company environment. This model provides us the significant advantage of not having any single point of failure. It has been shown here that there is no degradation of the performance if one of the path has been failed for the communication.
