802.11 Reference Design: Experiment Framework Examples

We have created a number of example scripts that demonstrate various features of the Experiments Framework. The examples are listed below.

Many of these examples rely on log data files captured from 802.11 Reference Design nodes. We have prepared sample data files you can use to explore these examples without creating your own logs.

For more details on the Python classes and methods provided by the wlan_exp package, refer to the package documentation.

Example	Requirements	Description
Blink Node LEDs	1 or more nodes	Blinks the hex display LEDs on all discoverable nodes
Aggregate Throughput	2 nodes	Starts traffic flow from AP to STA and calculates throughput using Tx/Rx packet counts at each node.
Tx/Rx Log Capture	2 nodes	Generates traffic flows between an AP and STA using LTGs, retrieves the logs from both nodes and writes each to an HDF5 log file
Tx/Rx Log Analysis	Log File	Processes log file to calculate statistics
Channel Estimate Viewer	Log file (with Rx events) and MATLAB	Extracts OFDM Rx events from a log file, saves them to a structured array, imports the array into MATLAB and displays the channel
Continuous Log Capture	1 node	Initializes node, waits for specified duration, then retrieves the node's log and writes it to an HDF5 log file
