A system, method and device for classifying mobile devices based on frame characteristics and frame content provides a network administrator the ability to better understand actual network use by BYOD (bring your own device) type users, which are becoming more common, giving the ability to better understand actual use beyond the planned for stations factored into a wireless network design.

OTA mobile device classification

An apparatus and method for network channel capacity planning, measuring, and analyzing of WLAN networks are presented. In one embodiment, the method includes importing network and node configuration of an existing physical wireless local area network (WLAN) deployment from WLAN surveying system that captures and analyzes WLAN traffic in order to define a configuration of the existing physical WLAN, simulating a virtual WLAN using the imported network and node configuration as parameters of the simulated WLAN and applying various other configurations not present in the imported network and node configuration as parameters of the simulated WLAN, and analyzing the simulated WLAN to produce throughput statistics of network and nodes of the simulated WLAN.

Methods and systems for network channel capacity planning, measuring and analyzing of WLAN networks

In a wireless local area network, an access point failing to adhere to proper power management protocol is detected by analyzing a beacon frame sent by the access point to determine if a traffic information map (TIM) in the beacon frame is zero. A frame sent by a station is analyzed to determine if the station is in a power save mode. A data frame sent by the access point is analyzed to determine if the data frame is destined for the station. An improper power management protocol condition of the access point is determined based on the foregoing analysis.
