Cell Planning for Wireless Local Area Network and Optimal Antenna Location

Abstract

This paper focuses on cell planning method and optimal Access Point (AP) location. Cell planning can reduce the adjacent channel interference and minimize the number of AP. We introduce some methods and compare one another and suggest an efficient method. Existing method considering objective functions is very complex. The new method considers a special condition - indoor environment. So this reduces a lot of calculation quantity. Next, topic is optimal antenna location. When AP is set up, generally AP is attached to the wall. At this time, constructive and destructive effects happen because service providers choose a omni-directional antenna to save cost. This paper will show optimal antenna location to avoid destructive effect.
