Abstract

Network design for wireless local area networks is an important issue in the deployment of these networks. Research activities are presently being undertaken in two major areas: determining the location of base stations (BSs) and assigning the frequency channels for these stations. Our BS location problem selects a set of BSs to provide the best demand area coverage and maximize the signal level and physical area attendance priority. Adequate channel assignment reduces signal interference and improves network throughput. This paper reports a real world experiment where we applied the concepts of two classical outdoor problems namely the optimal BS location problem and the fixed channel assignment problem to build a WLAN into an indoor environment. We propose a mathematical model that we solve by a commercial software and report the computational results. Copyright Kluwer Academic Publishers 2001
