Description
Summary:In this work, we introduce an antenna placement algorithm for indoor radio networks. The algorithm aims to minimize the number of antennas required to provide sufficient coverage in an area of interest, minimizing the cost of equipment and installation work. The optimization algorithm exploits a semi-deterministic model for the most dominant radio paths. Each path is in turn determined with the A ⋆ path finding algorithm. Both the proposed antenna placement algorithm and the used indoor radio propagation model are evaluated using real measurements, confirming the efficiency of the method.
