Optimización de Puntos de Acceso para una Lan Bajo Restricciones de Cobertura, Capacidad y Fsl

This paper shows a solution to minimize the number of access points (APs) required in the design of a set of users to be distributed in a wireless local area network (LAN) with the creation of an optimization model, which aims to minimize the number of candidate sites to deliver a service to each user and reduce resource utilization, which will be subject to coverage, capacity and free space loss (FSL) constraints. The coverage constraint will be based on the characteristics provided by each AP used in terms of its limitation to allow a connection between the candidate site and the user, which must be within its coverage radius. The second capacity constraint, also associated with the characteristics of the APs, together with the coverage constraint will allow a connection to users within the coverage range and a specific number of receivers that can support each AP. Finally, for the third constraint, the FSL value will be calculated for each distance found between the APs, resulting in an average loss which will serve as a reference to condition the connection.
