Affinity propagation algorithm in WLAN network deployment

摘要

The coverage region of WLAN network is limited compare with cell phone system such as GSM and WCDMA. The favorable area to deploy WLAN is the area which has strong demand for wireless network. How to identify the needs and guide the deployment of WLAN, that isn't a easy issue. It will waste the investment if we deploy the WLAN in improper places. This paper proposes a solution which can collect customer feedback with the help of smart phone client software and affinity propagation algorithm is applied to determine which region should be deploy first according to giant user feedback from that client software. Actual results show that the method is feasible and effective. It can significantly improve the accuracy of deployment of WLAN and efficiency of operations.
