When going to build a wireless point to multipoint network for the distribution of access in an area with multiple AP devices, there are several choices of network models that can be applied. Can use method of Distribution System (DS) where every AP work independently or can also use WDS wireless technology where AP one with other connected via wireless. The ultimate goal of course for the Client still get the same service even though the Client is moving or roaming.
In the DS method, each AP is configured independently, with the same mode = ap-bridge and SSID but with different frequency settings to avoid interference. To get the roaming effect all APs connect to one same Main Router, ie routers that provide services like DHCP or Hotspot. Differences DS and WDS have been discussed in Wireless Routing article with MME Protocol
In this article we will conduct a simple experiment to measure network quality of DS and WDS methods. The experiment is done with video call access from Client and moves from one location to another. When the Client switches location, the Client connection will be handled by a different AP. The parameters to be seen are the quality of the video call and the PING results towards the Client.
Independent AP AP Scheme
The first test is done on the DS network scheme. Each AP uses mode = ap-bridge with the same SSID at each point. In order to avoid frequency interference in each AP using a frequency band that does not intersect. More details about Frequency and Band selection see Band Selection & FrequencyArticles on Wireless Implementation.
To get roaming effect every AP is connected to one Main Router through switch. Client get IP 192.168.30.251 from DHCP Server (Main Router). With Client do video streaming and move location then got result as follows
There are 5-6 times the timeout when the client connection moves from AP 1 to AP 2. The video call connection also hooked a few seconds with the reconnecting status and then back to normal.
WDS Scheme
The second test uses the WDS scheme where one AP with the other AP is connected via wireless. Examples of WDS configuration can be seen in previous articles
In this trial we will use WDS mode static, dynamic and WDS Mesh. With the same experimental step the following results are obtained:
In trials using these four WDS Modes does not affect the Client video call stream. Video Call still running smoothly when Client move location even if if seen from result of ping which done happened 1-3 timeout when client connection move AP.
Conclusion
From the results of the above simple experiments, WDS Mode is faster in the process of moving than the AP bridge independent. However, in another article, the Wireless Test Throughput Mode test results say that the throughput that can be passed by WDS mode down is very significant because 1 Wlan works twice that is receiving the signal and then retransmit.
If your wireless distribution goal is to get maximum throughput then it is better to use DS method to make AP performance lighter but with AP shifting (roaming) under WDS.
