Abstract

This paper presents some results of the WLAN traffic measurements and analysis. The main idea of the work is to describe some common parameters of the originated traffic which may be useful in the network planning and analysis tasks. Authors have considered such parameters as session duration, user activity, packet size, traffic intensity, and some others.
