Abstract:
Even though the wireless coverage inside buildings is widely studied, there are many deployments that are not optimal. An accurate design, not only allows more radio coverage inside the building, but could allow cost savings if we are able to reduce the number of access points that are used to implement the solution. In this paper, we will show a research study about the optimum location of access points inside the building of the Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV) in order to provide better wireless Internet access to the students. The paper provides a comparative study for different Service Set Identifiers (SSIDs) (are currently available at the university). We will also compare them analytically. Finally we will obtain the mathematical expressions that allow us to model their behavior and we will see how the signals propagate following a very peculiar pattern.
