Abstract

The IEEE 802.11ac wireless communication proto-cols have been introduced for highspeed wireless networks. Then, commercial devices implementing this protocol have been available from most vendors. In this paper, we provide various Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) throughput measurement results. It uses devices from three vendors implementing this protocol under a set of TCP parameters in various conditions including comparison between indoor and outdoor, comparison between one-hop and two-hop, effects of walls, effect of 11ac repeater, big room with different AP locations, and effects of link distance. As a comparison, we also conduct the test in 11n as well. Our measurement results show that TCP throughputs are greatly affected by vendors, communication, and physical conditions.
