We measure the performance of UDP and TCP transfers between a car traveling at speeds from 5 mph to 75 mph, and an 802.11b access point. We analyze the impact of bandwidth and delay limitations in the backhaul network on the feasibility of in-motion transfer with typical Internet applications. We observe that in interference-free environments, a significant amount of data can be transferred using off-the-shelf equipment. We find that performance suffers mostly from network or application related problems instead of wireless link issues, i.e., protocols with handshakes, bandwidth limitations, and long round-trip times.}, publisher = {IEEE}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/measurements-of-in-motion-802-11-networking/}, edition = {Proceedings of the Seventh IEEE Workshop on Mobile Computing System and Applications (HOTMOBILE 2006)}, }
