Description
In this study, a wireless radio-frequency mesh network was set up in an indoor environment, namely, the School of Physics building. The purpose of the wireless mesh network (WMN) was to enable data to be communicated between the routers or nodes located within the coverage area. Data comprising of latency, outlier ratios, number of hops and packet delivery ratios was collected and analyzed using Big Data techniques developed and employed at CERN with the intention of bench-marking the performance and reliability of the mesh. It was necessary to employ these techniques since data packets exceeding 3 million in number were sent when the mesh network was up and running. Therefore, these reliable and efficient means of cleaning and analyzing the network data were used successfully.
