Abstract:
Proper AP placement is necessary to provide adequate signal coverage
and also to minimize co-channel coverage overlap. In this document,
we present the test-bed used in our lab and the procedure and methodology
we have created (modified) to achieve accurate measurements. We
describe a procedure for carrying out the estimation of AP coverage
patterns in order to eliminate the need to re-measure coverage patterns
for every candidate combination of AP locations. It is expected to
obtain a difference no bigger than the 3 dB between the estimated signal
strength and measured signal strength.
Description:
Nowdays, indoor networks are getting more popular and its use is widely
spread, growing its share into the international market. At the
beginning, this solution was not popular and therefore suitable, because
of its low rate speeds. Thereby, important institutes as IEEE and Wi-
FI Alliance worked together to develop a standard: IEEE 802.11x. The
purpose of this paper is to show different methods for reducing the
infrastructure deployment costs of wireless networks, specifically for
systems that are willing to transmit very high data rates.
