Abstract

An interactive software tool has been developed which can be used to assess the coverage of RF transceivers within multifloor buildings. Using AutoCAD as a foundation, this system displays floor plans and permits the user to place transceivers at arbitrary locations within a building. The user can interactively set communication parameters and can view the resulting coverage regions, which depend on the locations and material properties of walls and partitions. Such a tool should prove to be very useful in the specification of wireless LAN systems.
