WLAN heat mapping in hybrid network

摘要

Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) have become popular because of mobility and easy installation. Nowadays, WLAN access points (APs) are everywhere. For proper operation of own hybrid network, it may be necessary to know the APs locations. The visualization can help to get the best coverage or the best conditions of the network. In addition, the measurements help to create an AP inventory or identify unauthorized and illegal APs. Measurements can be divided into two large groups, outdoor and indoor measurements. The hardware and software environment of the two procedures may be different. The goal of this article is to present reproducible measurement to WLAN APs visualization before or after hybrid network installations.
