How the Atmospheric Variables Affect to the WLAN Datalink Layer Parameters

2010

There are many issues that affect to WLAN connections (walls, vegetation, rain, objects in the Fresnel zone, etc.). Network designers and telecommunication practitioners must take them into account when they are planning wireless connections between devices. Some studies have demonstrated the implication of the atmospheric variables in the frequency attenuation and in the line of sight of the waves. But, to the extend of our knowledge, there is not any work published that relates the atmospheric variables with the datalink layer parameters of the WLANs. We must take into account that the datalink layer allows us to measure quite more parameters than the physical layer. After a review of the…
