| 3 | = Topology 2: Simple Hotspot AP scenario with a distribution of clients (at different PHY rates) = |
| 4 | This represents the simplest basic topology comprising a point to point link (either infrastructure AP to client or peer to peer) with a configurable packet error rate for certain packet sizes |

| 8 | In order to achieve this, the following steps are needed |
| 9 | * The corner node (1,2) is selected as the AP |
| 10 | * Select the set of nodes on the grid as required (clients) |
| 11 | * Disable autorate adaptation in the card |
| 12 | * Set the PHY rates to fixed rates based on the distribution required by the experimenter |

| 14 | We plot the total system throughput using the experiment script provided below. This is compared against the system throughput obtained |
| 15 | if all the clients in the experiment experienced 54 Mbps links. The results indicate that users at the edge of coverage affect the total system |
| 16 | throughput. |
