The approach presented in this research work is based on the end-user feedback, giving the opportunity of visualization of network performance in real time. We initially present an overview of the developed tool, called WiFiMon, which has the ability to capture, record measurements and export statistics on the quality of Wi-Fi network as perceived by the end-users. The measurements are initiated by the end-users - without their intervention – after they visit a web page or use a mobile application. WiFiMon aims to give a clear understanding of the Wi-Fi network conditions by measuring specific parameters of the network, such as download/upload throughput, and correlate these measurements with raw data from various log files to obtain additional information regarding the performance of specific access points. The results reveal the functionality of the proposed tool and its scalability.1 aBaumann, Kurt1 aBouras, Christos1 aKokkinos, Vasileios1 aPapachristos, Nikolaos1 aStamos, Kostas uhttp://telematics.upatras.gr/telematics/publications/wifimon-tool-wi-fi-performance-monitoring-and-verification01575nas a2200157 4500008004100000245007400041210006900115260001400184520099100198100001801189700002101207700002401228700002701252700001901279856011901298 2017 eng d00aWiFiMon App Measuring Wi-Fi Performance as Experienced by End - Users0 aWiFiMon App Measuring WiFi Performance as Experienced by End Use cMay 3 - 53 a
The measurement of quality and efficiency of a wireless Wi-Fi network is particularly difficult, as there is not a single tool that can record measurements from all sides of the system, i.e. from both the access point and the end-user. Existing tools are able to monitor the overall quality of the wireless network; although they cannot determine how end-users experience the quality of Wi-Fi in a particular part of the network at a given time. In this paper we present a novel tool, named WiFiMon, which enables measuring, recording and exporting statistics regarding the quality of a Wi-Fi network as experienced by the end-users. The measurements are triggered by the end-users when they visit WiFiMon-enabled websites and/or run WiFiMon-enabled mobile applications and are recorded without users’ intervention. Main goal of WiFiMon is to give network administrators a better overview on how the endusers experience the conditions of the Wi-Fi network.
