Abstract
This Technical Report intends to provide a performance test plan for “IEEE standard for Information technology-Telecommunications and information exchange between systems Local and metropolitan area networks- Specific requirements Part 11: Wireless LAN Medium Access Control (MAC) and Physical Layer (PHY) Specifications specification”. TR-398 Issue 2 is specifically developed for 802.11n/ac/ax compliant access point devices. The performance of Wi-Fi station (STA) is not in the scope of this project. TR-398 Issue 2 is intended to address a common set of performance test cases according to in-home scenarios that can be applied to different deployment. The performance test cases are intended for the access point, to verify: 1. RF capability 2. Throughput performance 3. Spatial consistency 4. Airtime fairness 5. Connection capability 6. Stability/Robustness Technologies: 802.11n (2.4 GHz), 802.11ac (5 GHz), 802.11ax (2.4 & 5 GHz)

Abstract
This Technical Report intends to provide a performance test plan for “IEEE standard for Information technology-Telecommunications and information exchange between systems Local and metropolitan area networks- Specific requirements Part 11: Wireless LAN Medium Access Control (MAC) and Physical Layer (PHY) Specifications specification”. TR-398 Issue 3 is specifically developed for 802.11n/ac/ax compliant access point devices. The performance of Wi-Fi station (STA) is not in the scope of this project. Wi-Fi Access Point devices are used in a wide variety of premises which contain many elements which will influence Wi-Fi performance. TR-398 Issue 3 is intended to address a generalized set of performance test cases performed in a controlled laboratory environment. The performance test cases are intended for the access point, to verify: 1) RF capability 2) Throughput performance 3) Spatial consistency 4) Airtime fairness 5) Connection capability 6) Stability/Robustness 7) Multiple AP scenarios (mesh & roaming) 8) Parameter reporting accuracy
