Abstract
Efficient performance of the Lionet in Nsukka campus of the University of Nigeria may be hindered by the ornamental trees that characterises the physical features of the University environment. This work measured and analyzed the Lionet quality of service (QoS) in terms of received power level and path loss as functions of distance, under free space condition and in the presence of a tree. To achieve this, Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression analysis was used on the measured data with the help of SPSS version 16.0 software; to show the significance of the presence of trees on the Lionet QoS. The findings revealed that path loss is influenced significantly if (p
Highlights
The University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) in Enugu state of Nigeria, through the University ICT unit has embarked on extending internet access to all parts of the campus, by deploying access points (APs) at various locations within the campus
The coefficient of the distance is −0.929 showing that a unit increase in distance under free space condition will lead on the average to a −92.9% decrease in the received power level
This work has studied the effect of trees on quality of service (QoS) of the Lionet in terms of path loss and received power level
Summary
The University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) in Enugu state of Nigeria, through the University ICT unit has embarked on extending internet access to all parts of the campus, by deploying access points (APs) at various locations within the campus. Lionet is a campus wireless local area network (WLAN) preferred by the University of Nigeria, Nsukka governing council for her staff and students. This network is preferred due to its positive as-.
