How the Weather Impacts on the Performance of an Outdoor WLAN

It is believed that meteorological factors such as rain, wind or temperature do not affect significantly to wireless systems operating at radio frequencies below 10 GHz. However, using an appropriate statistical analysis to the measurements taken from an outdoor IEEE 802.11b/g WLAN, we show that thi...

Zusammenfassung:	It is believed that meteorological factors such as rain, wind or temperature do not affect significantly to wireless systems operating at radio frequencies below 10 GHz. However, using an appropriate statistical analysis to the measurements taken from an outdoor IEEE 802.11b/g WLAN, we show that this is not true. Although these networks operate at 2.4 GHz, we have been able to prove a significant relationship between some meteorological factors and the behavior of several control frames in these networks.
