Capacity Planning of Access Point Deployment for Indoor Positioning System

Abstract

This paper present the network design and capacity planning of access point (AP) deployment for indoor positioning system. The estimation of WiFi distance is described briefly how to measure the signal strength of AP. Co-channel interference is a key for network design of access point installation for network capacity. The objective function for network capacity planning of AP deployment is to optimize the number of access point and location for indoor positioning system concerning with the minimized co-channel interference. Simulations are tested to install AP for lecture hall in university. Capacity planning design of wireless AP deployment is proposed for indoor position systems in terms of the received signal strength indications (RSSI). We assume the situation is supported for the crowded conference. The requirement of the results of wireless AP positioning in crowded conference rooms are placing the wireless AP in forms of overlap the signal in order to get the strong signal. Experimental results have been tested their received signal of WiFi APs with the 2.4GHz frequency using the receiver installed in laptops to check the signal. The empirical results shown that the strength of RSSI will be received a signal of -44 dBm at a distance of approximately 20 meters.
