  • Abstract
    A heuristic indoor network planner for exposure calculation and optimization in wireless networks is developed. The model for the electric-field strength in the vicinity of an access point is presented and the WiFi networks are optimized in order not to exceed a maximal electric-field strength at a certain separation from the access points. The influence of the maximally allowed field strength and the assumed minimal separation between the access point and the human is assessed for a typical office building.
