Title
Interference mitigation in WiFi networks using multi-sector antennas
Abstract
Sectorized antennas provide an attractive solution to increase wireless network capacity through interference mitigation. Despite their increasing popularity, the real-world performance characteristics of such antennas in dense wireless mesh networks are not well understood. We demonstrate our multi-sector antenna prototypes and their performance through video streaming over an indoor wireless network in the presence of interfering nodes. We use our graphical tool to vary the sender, receiver, and interferer antenna configurations and the resulting performance is directly visible in the video quality displayed at the receiver.
