android: generate traffic to saturate a specific wifi channel (programmatically)

Question

I need to certify an embedded product, we are asked to write a software that saturate a specific wifi channel with data, in order to verify that we are compliant to the European emission regulation. The embedded device goes into an anechoic chamber and should be able to emit data. I need to write the software to do this, java or NDK.

My idea is: Android goes in AccessPoint mode, choosing the channel. Then it starts to send UDP messages to the broadcast address, something like 192.168.1.255, expecting these messages are actually going on air. Is this assumption true? I don't know if this happens, in case no endpoint is actually connected. So, just to be clear:

socket.send(DatagramPacket(data.getBytes(), data.length(), broadcastAddress, port);); 

Is this function emitting packets even in case no client is connected to the wifi AP?

Any hints? Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

I found an easier and safer way: change the beacon frequency. In Android it can be changed (with root permissions) from 15 up to 65535 ms. That was enough to certify our product.
