Abstract
The design of a wireless local area network (WLAN) is a complicated work that demands considerations of many aspects including signal coverage, interference, and traffic management. In this paper we implement a WiFi network planning platform that is able to assist the design of WLAN. The platform consists of three modules: the signal strength module, the AP location planning module, and the channel assignment module. First, the signal strength module generates signal strength maps for operating AP(s) so that a designer can evaluate the deployment. Next, the AP selection module uses an optimization technique to choose APs from a candidate AP set, and the selected APs can provide sufficient coverage and satisfy the throughput requirement specified by designer. At last, the channel assignment module allocates available channel to the selected APs and aims to minimize the co-channel interference of them. The platform is written in Matlab and C, and an application programming interface is also implemented in C-based library for practical application.
