Qısa məlumat

When designing wireless communication systems, it is very important to know the optimum numbers and locations for the access points (APs). The impact of incorrect placement of APs is significant. Placing too many access points increases the cost of deployment and interference, while placing too few access points can lead to coverage gaps. In this paper we describe a novel mathematical model developed to find the optimal number of APs and their locations in an environment that includes obstacles. To solve the problem, we use a new global optimization (AGOP) algorithm. The results obtained indicate that our model and software is able to solve optimal coverage problems for a design area with different number of users. © 2006 IEEE.
