Implementation Mixed Wireless Network with Lower Number of Wi-Fi Routers for Optimal Coverage

Abstract

With the development of various wireless communication networks, Wi-Fi Router positioning and deployment systems have become widely popular in recent years to improve coverage in various environments. In this paper, we present an appropriate mechanism for defining the deployment of Wi-Fi Routers to improve coverage in the Oxford Languages Institute (OLI) environment. In addition, the institute's environment was simulated using the Wireless InSite (WI) Package. In this work, two types of Wi-Fi Routers are used. The first is the TP-Link, while the second is the Rocket. These two devices operate at 2.4 and 5 GHz frequencies. There are two objectives in this work. The first aim is to determine the best location to cover the simulated scene environment in a better way. The second aim is to compare Wi-Fi Routers to find out which Wi-Fi Router is better and find out how many Wi-Fi Routers we need to cover the institute's environment. The comparison between Wi-Fi Routers was based on basic parameters to measure the performance of wireless networks, the most important of which are Coverage Rate (CR) Percentage, Signal Quality Rate (SQR), and Received Power Rate (RPR). According to the results that were shown on the Graphical User Interface (GUI) using MATLAB Software. We noticed that the CR, SQR, and RPR of the Rocket are 83.9080%, 97.0082%, and -35.2337 dBm respectively, and these results are better than the results provided by the TP-Link, as it gave the CR, SQR, and RPR are 32.1839%, 77.8690%, and -58.1685 dBm, respectively. Finally, we conclude that CR using the Rocket is good and we need one device to cover the institute’s environment. While CR using the TP-Link is bad and we need five devices to reach the coverage provided by the Rocket because the Rocket has high transmitted power and gain capacity.

Human body blockage effect on wireless network performance for outdoor coverage

“…These requirements cannot be met which will need a wide range of frequencies in different fields. There is a technology that is used in the fifth generation (5G) that will solve these requirements and works to reduce the momentum of the users and give each person a private channel that prevents interference between users which is called millimeter waves (mmWave) that sends radio signals to a higher frequency range running from 30-300 GHz [2], [3]. The mmWaves attracted researchers to pay attention to designing wireless networks at very high speeds to meet great advances in various advanced communication fields [4].…”

“…Therefore, each user has his own antenna, so the interference between users will decrease and the channel's efficiency will increase in transmitting data without any loss of information [7]. Newly, researchers around the world have focused mainly on the multi-millimeter-wave (Mm-Wave) frequencies bands, which has made these waves a strong candidate for the next generation of communications [8], [9]. The frequency range of Mm-Wave from 30 to 300 GHz for this frequency used in the future generation will be within this range [10].…”

“…In addition, the multi-input multi-output (MIMO) technique has appeared, which has attracted many researchers interest in connectivity specialists due to its impressive quality such as the ability to maximize channel bandwidth without needing additional frequency spectrum or power. This communication scheme involves the deployment of several antennas mounted in the transmitter and or receiver with low coupling between the constituent components, as indicated in the MIMO antennas [3]. Obviously, such a condition may be sufficiently in large structures where there is ample space  ISSN: 2502-4752 Indonesian J Elec Eng & Comp Sci, Vol.…”
