Method and system for testing throughput of wireless network card in wireless local area network

Abstract

The invention provides a method and system for testing the throughput of a wireless network card in a wireless local area network. The method comprises the following steps of: integrating an Iperf.exe tool in a wireless access point (AP); establishing an Iperf.exe tool call instruction in the AP; mounting a wireless network card to be tested on a PC (Personal Computer), wherein the PC is connected with the AP in a wireless manner through the wireless network card to be tested; and operating the own Iperf.exe tool by the PC and calling the Iperf.exe tool on the AP through the Iperf.exe tool call instruction simultaneously so that the throughput test of the wireless network card to be tested is completed through wireless communication between the PC and the AP. In the embodiment of the invention, communication is carried out between the AP used as the server end of the Iperf.exe tool and the client of the PC in the test, so that the throughput of the wireless network card can be tested through only one PC, and therefore, the test environment is greatly simplified and the test preparation work is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of wireless communication, in particular to a test method and system for the throughput of a wireless network card in a wireless local area network (Wireless Fidelity, WIFI for short). Background technique [0002] WIFI is a wireless network composed of a wireless access point (Access Point, AP for short) and a wireless network card. AP is generally called a wireless access node or a network bridge. It is a bridge between a traditional wired LAN and a wireless LAN. Therefore, any personal computer (PC) equipped with a wireless network card can pass through AP to share resources of wired LAN or even WAN. Data is transmitted between the wireless network card and the AP through wireless signals, and the throughput between them is the main index to measure the quality of the wireless network card. [0003] At present, the system used to test the throughput of the wireless network card usually adopts t...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, this test method not only requires a complex test environment, but also needs to meet two prerequisites: first, the throughput between PC2 and AP must be greater than the maximum theoretical throughput from the wireless network card to the AP; second, the theoretical rate of the AP must be equal to Or greater than the theoretical rate of the wireless network card
