Summary: | A new approach has been developed to provide an overview about signal behavior in indoor environments using Cost-231 Multiwall Model (Cost-231 MWM) and Adaptive Data Rate (ADR) method. This approach used as a reference for access point (AP) placement for campus building. The Cost-231 MWM plays a role in estimating the measured power received by user (usually called as Received Signal Strength Indicator/RSSI) by considering the existence of obstacles around the transmitter (AP). We used Institut Asia Malang environments as the case study and gave some recommendations for AP placement: ten optimal placements for the first, third and fourth floor, also seven optimal placements for the second floor. These recommendations were based on the RSSI for good and excellent level signal (-50 dBm until -10dBm). This research also uses the Adaptive Data Rate (ADR) mechanism approach to reduce the amount of packet loss (kbps) resulting from obstacles that cause attenuation (-dB). With the Adaptive Data Rate mechanism, it means increasing the number of access points, the signal attenuation (-dB) occurs from the obstacles (Walls) that are penetrated by the Radio Frequency device and causes attenuation (-dB), the more Access points on the Multi-Wall, will allow communication and data transmitting stability. |
