Sažetak
As Wi-Fi networks become integral to university
campuses, traditional management frameworks exhibit operational
inefficiencies. This study gives a detailed set of research
solutions for this field. We used a simulator to test these solutions,
checking six things: throughput, latency, jitter, packet loss, SNR,
and energy use. We tested what would happen when things went
wrong in a setup with 100 access points and 500 users. The
results suggest that networks improved with SDN had an 84.6%
rise in average throughput and a 39.3% drop in latency when
compared to regular Wi-Fi. Jitter went down by 0.15 ms, packet
loss peaks decreased by 3.7%, and average SNR went up by 4 dB.
The EMA scheduler reached a fairness index above 0.99 in five
minutes, and access point energy use decreased by 13%. These
results point to the SDWAN’s ability to allocate bandwidth well,
keep QoS/QoE consistent, and change to fit campus environments.
This research gives a useful structure for putting these solutions
into a real network.
