Background of the Study
Wireless networks have become an essential component of modern educational institutions, providing students, staff, and faculty members with internet access for research, learning, and administrative tasks. However, as wireless networks expand, interference issues have emerged as a significant challenge, impacting connectivity, network reliability, and overall performance. Wireless network interference occurs due to overlapping frequencies, electromagnetic interference (EMI), physical obstructions, and the presence of multiple devices operating in the same spectrum.
At Federal University, Wukari, the increasing demand for wireless connectivity has led to congestion in the available frequency spectrum. The university’s network infrastructure relies on Wi-Fi technology, which is susceptible to interference from neighboring networks, electronic devices, and environmental factors. This interference degrades network quality by causing packet loss, increased latency, and frequent disconnections. Additionally, the university’s geographical location and structural designs may contribute to wireless signal attenuation and propagation issues.
Given the critical role of wireless networks in academic institutions, there is a need to investigate and analyze the sources of interference at Federal University, Wukari. Understanding these interference patterns will help in optimizing network performance, improving data transmission, and ensuring a seamless user experience.
Statement of the Problem
Wireless network interference remains a major obstacle to efficient internet access at Federal University, Wukari. Users frequently experience slow network speeds, connection drops, and high latency, which negatively impact online learning, virtual meetings, and research activities. The increasing number of connected devices, coupled with overlapping Wi-Fi signals from nearby sources, exacerbates network congestion and interference issues.
Despite the deployment of standard wireless networking protocols, the university continues to face performance challenges. Current mitigation strategies, such as adjusting Wi-Fi channels and increasing access points, have not fully resolved interference problems. A comprehensive analysis is needed to identify key interference sources, assess their impact, and propose effective solutions.
