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.口試委員會審定書 誌謝 ii 摘要 iii Abstract iv 1 Introduction 1 2 Related Work 3 2.1 WiFi Network Deployment Approaches .................. 3 2.2 Optimization Algorithms for WiFi Network Planning ........... 4 3 Propagation Loss Model Survey 9 3.1 Channel Model Survey of IEEE 802 Standards .............. 9 3.1.1 IEEE 802.11n & IEEE802.11ac .................. 9 3.1.2 IEEE 802.11ah ........................... 10 3.1.3 Attenuation Consideration ..................... 13 3.2 Channel Model Survey of Cell Network .................. 14 3.2.1 Test Environment .......................... 14 3.2.2 Propagation Loss Model ...................... 19 4 Problem Formulation 25 4.1 Design Specification ............................ 25 v4.1.1 Environment Data ......................... 25 4.1.2 Candidate Access Point ....................... 26 4.1.3 User Demand ............................ 27 4.1.4 Planning Assumption ........................ 28 4.2 Math Model Formulation .......................... 28 4.2.1 Multi-Criteria MILP Optimization Model ............. 28 4.2.2 Our Optimization Model ...................... 31 5 WiFi Network Planning Simulator and Algorithms 35 5.1 Module Overview .............................. 35 5.2 Signal Strength Module ........................... 36 5.3 AP Selection Module ............................ 39 5.3.1 Phase I: Coverage Prediction .................... 39 5.3.2 Phase II: Station Elimination .................... 40 5.3.3 Phase III: Throughput Guarantee .................. 41 5.4 Channel Assignment Module ........................ 42 5.5 C-based Library Introduction ........................ 43 6 Evaluation 45 6.1 Experiment for Indoor Hotspot Scenario .................. 45 6.1.1 Experiment Setup .......................... 45 6.1.2 Result and Comparison ....................... 49 6.2 Experiment for Real Building Scenario ................... 56 6.2.1 Experiment Setup .......................... 56 6.2.2 Result ................................ 59 7 Conclusion 64 Bibliography 6518495062 bytesapplication/pdf論文公開時間:2015/08/21論文使用權限:同意無償授權802.11WiFi網路規劃最佳化無線區域網路接取點WiFi網路規劃之接取點布置與通道指定平台Access Point Placement and Channel Assignment Platform for WiFi Network Planningthesishttp://ntur.lib.ntu.edu.tw/bitstream/246246/262901/1/ntu-103-R01921029-1.pdf
