Performance of Simple Heuristics

In this section, we consider the performance of three simple heuristics from previous literature. The experiments described in this section use the following settings. All Orinoco cards were turned off. All Netgear cards were set to operate in 802.11a mode, on channel 36, at full transmit power. The transmit rate of each card was fixed at 6Mbps. We use 802.11a mode for these tests since our building has an operational 802.11b network.
