Abstract :
There are two basic way to deploy wireless local area network (WLAN) access point in an indoor scenario. Manual deployment of a system using site measurement based on empirical measurement and prediction using software tool that have signal propagation models. The measurement campaign was based on 2.4 GHz ISM band and conducted within campus KUiTTHO building. A measurement of signal level within indoor environment is done without presence of people movement. The measurement aims was to find empirical parameters for one slope models. Statistical analysis for site measurement in this paper follows the analysis that had been done in [3]. Results from both prediction and measurement campaign were compared and conclusions are drawn for the need of practical planning of indoor WLAN system coverage.
