Acesso em:.https://repositorio.ufpa.br/handle/2011/7668The proliferation of mobile devices like smartphones and tablets and the changes of user profile caused the exponentially growth of mobile data traffic. Which leads to an overload of network infrastructure responsible for disposing of this traffic. In order to mitigate or even solve this problem some possibility are presented, one of which is the offloading of traffic cellular networks. For this, two technologies have had greater relevance: Femtocell and WLAN. However, the use of Femtocell has been considered panacea. However there is the alternative of WLAN networks, which has a very large legacy infrastructure. In this sense, this work proposes a comparative study through discrete simulation, aiming to analyze the performance of our networks.Acesso AbertoSistemas de comunicação sem fioWLAN - Redes locais sem fioDesempenhoSimulaçãoFemtocellWLAN (Wireless local area networks)PerfomanceSimulationDissertaçãoCNPQ::CIENCIAS EXATAS E DA TERRA::CIENCIA DA COMPUTACAOCNPQ::ENGENHARIAS::ENGENHARIA ELETRICA::TELECOMUNICACOES::SISTEMAS DE TELECOMUNICACOES
