Abstract
A method and system for emulating a user population for wireless local area network access point performance, optimization and configuration testing. The number of stations, data volume and related variables are programmed by a command and control computer, with a load emulator then offering a realistic station population and data traffic load to the wireless access point under test. Multiple load emulators may be deployed for the emulation and testing of very large networks.
