Optimization of WLAN deployment on classrooms environment using site survey

摘要

In spite of many efforts that already been conducted for improving wireless network, site survey method still hold an important role to ensure that optimization effort is succeed. This paper describes a result of wireless optimization in an overlapping wireless network environment, involving twelve classrooms. Several measurements using site survey technique have been done to define the most optimal configuration for twelve access points that provide wireless coverage for each classroom. There are three access point's components that are involved in the optimization effort, they are: the direction of the antennas, the combination of channels and the level of transmit power. The optimization result has improved the quality of wireless network in the given environment.
