Access Point Placement Recommendation Using Cost-231 Multiwall Propagation

Access Point Placement in Vehicular Networking

Providing wireless networking to vehicles has been identified as a near-term goal by the automotive industry in the support of basic Internet access as well as an enabler to a variety of safety enhancement applications. Network connectivity to on-board computers can be provided via existing mobile telephony; however, these systems rely on both expensive infrastructure (cell towers) and a strong...

Investigation of WLAN Access Point Placement for Indoor Positioning

Wireless indoor positioning has been a popular research topic for years because it provides the basis for a broad domain of location-based applications. Especially the usage of WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) technology is widespread to build an indoor positioning system due to the reuse of existing and almost ubiquitous WLAN infrastructure worldwide lowering the costs. However, these WLAN s...

Analysis and modelling of WiFi access point propagation data

Layout Optimization of Wireless Access Point Placement using Greedy and Simulated Annealing Algorithms

The development of Wi-Fi network is not only about the installment of access point infrastructure, but also related to various factors such as signal strength of the access point, design and infrastructure of the room, distribution of groups of access point users, radio wave interferences, and signal obstacles. Therefore in a Wi-Fi network, the placement of access point has a significant impact...

Tuning of Cost-231 Hata Model for Radio Wave Propagation Predictions

In this paper, tuning of COST-231 Hata prediction method has been carried out based on experiments at 2.3 GHz using WiMAX transmissions conducted in western India. Fine tuning of the model is carried out using large number of measurement records to increase the accuracy of the prediction. The parameters of this model are tuned based on a linear iterative tuning method. The path loss predictions...
