Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Electrical Engineering ((LNEE,volume 302))

Abstract

In this paper, a novel hybrid algorithm for the optimization of indoor wireless network planning is applied to a polyvalent arts centre. The results of the algorithm are compared with those of a heuristic network planner for three scenarios. Results show that our algorithm is effective for optimization of wireless networks, satisfying maximum coverage, minimal power consumption, minimal cost, and minimal human exposure.
