Impact of interfering rouge access points on modulationand coding in IoT network

Abstract: This Bachelor thesis presents an in-depth investigation into the effects of RogueAccess Point interference within Internet of Things networks. The study focuses onthe impact of rogue APs on the modulation and coding scheme indices, round triptime, and overall network performance. The presence of a rogue AP was found toshift devices from dual-stream to single-stream operation, causing a decrease in themodulation and coding scheme indices and data rates. Additionally, a significantincrease in round trip time was observed, emphasizing the detrimental impact ofrogue AP interference on network latency. The insights gained from this researchcontribute to a greater understanding of the challenges posed by rogue APinterference. This deeper comprehension paves the way for devising effectivestrategies to mitigate these impacts, thereby enhancing the reliability, security, andperformance of IoT networks.
