Hi everyone here,
I'm new here. But i'm actually doing a project regarding wireless LAN. i have used netstumbler to detect the signal strength and SNR. WHat i want to do is to produce a program.. a simple one with conditional codes like "if..this else.. that" i want to use the signal strength, SNR and maybe the no. of mobile host attached to a access point/ traffic situationas the variables to decide my handover process. But i can't even get the basic variable like signal strength and SNR. i have problem interfacing to netstumbler so i though i might develop my own with some examples i can look at. I'm very bad at programming cause i have only done basic C programming a very long time ago, but i'm willing to learn the new language. can anyone suggest which direction should i go into? How can i get examples for the codes to start scan, for the API to carry out the handover from one access point to another.. ok let keep it simple. can can i just detect the signal strength and purely depends on the signal strength to carry out a handover from AP1 to AP2, for example. What i plan is to write the program in C and call the functions to carry out various work. I won't plagiarise i will reference all the names if i'm using their work / function. Hope some one can give me a little hint / help... i'm desperated... because i'm given this project which belongs to telecommuniation side, but i have totally no knowledge of telecommunication because i'm purely from Electrical engineering. Thank you very much!
Help is very much needed.
Thanks all.... and pls forgive me if i happen to ask the same stupid questions that have already been asked.
Thanks
Best Regards
Patrick
