SIMULATION AND EVALUATION OF HIGH DENSITY COGNITIVE HOTSPOT NETWORK BASED ON IEEE 802.11 MINIPOP ACCESS POINT SERIES

This paper presents cognitive minipop Access Point (AP) architecture for high density wireless environments. This is derived from the Tranzio-Wavion radio infrastructure in our previous research. The model is based on quality of service optimization for a typical Tranzio-Wavion radio infrastructure. We used the University of Nigeria Nsukka, as a testbed for preliminary studies while using MATLAB Simulink 2009b to configure parameter settings and values for the physical layer of the cognitive minipop_AP communication network. The results of model physical layer provide an economical and flexible solution that encourages efficient network resource utilizations.? In conclusion, using? the? Cognitive Minipop-AP Specifications which is operated at 2.4GHz baseband frequency, the behaviour of SNR, PER and BR considering Rayleigh channelization showed better performance for flat and no fading scenarios more excellently, though dispersive fading is evident, but its effect will only be significant in generic WLAN alone and not on Cognitive minipop-AP.
