Wi Fi Network Simulation: Encs 427: Communication Networks Final Project Presentation

This project simulates a Wi-Fi office network using the 802.11 standard to analyze network traffic and delay under different scenarios. The simulation implements infrastructure and ad-hoc modes and examines adding/dropping applications, effects of increasing workstations, high vs low traffic intensity, and using multiple access points. Key results show that delay increases as more workstations join simultaneously or at high intensity, and that multiple access points can help reduce delay compared to a single access point handling more users.
