sampla wantok save long calculatim wireless end-to-end latency tu? igat sampla formula istap orait plis salim ikam mi nidim stret.

whats a wireless latency

Wireless Network uses Transmitted signal rather then Wire (CAT5e/CAT6). There are few parameters that are affecting Wireless Network communication that are not an issue when using Wired Network. The two most important variables are Signal Strength, Signal Stability.

Signal Strength is mainly depending on the Distance and the number and nature of obstructions. Stability is affected by the presence of other signals in the air + temporal changes in the envioroment. As an example Computer movement and orientation, people movement, electrical appliances “kinking in and out”, and other interferences are constantly changing and affecting the signal in a temporal manner.

The general results are that Wireless Bandwidth (Speed) and Latency becomes “None Stop” changeable variables.

Wireless Bandwidth (or “Speed”) of Wireless depends on what standard you use (802.11b. 802.11g, etc.) and how much of the signal is available for processing. The smaller the signal the less bandwidth you get.

Latency is created by the constant need to add extra processing to the signal in order to compensate for the instability. Latency per se is not created by obstructions; the Radio signal travels in the speed of light no matter what. Latency is a matter of timing that depends more on the Hardware, and the processing that is performed on the signal by both the hardware and software.

If you make it your business to have a Clean Stable signal Latency would be reduced to minimum but it would always more than a Wired connection.
