Abstract
Disclosed are methods and systems for interactive dynamic interference testing of wireless environments, which can emulate wireless traffic for multiple homes, apartments and offices. The emulated wireless environment can emulate a wide variety of 802.11 traffic, as well as other types of traffic. Some embodiments can also control any of the power level of interference, as well as the attenuation between devices, such as between access points and clients. The system and method can be used to monitor the performance of a device under test (DUT) under one or more interference conditions, and can be used to evaluate and modify the dynamic behavior of the DUT and other devices under different operating scenarios.
