Abstract :
Due to the increased use of indoor wireless networks and the concern about human exposure to the RF sources, there is a need for network planners for exposure-aware network planning. A heuristic exposure minimization algorithm for indoor WiFi networks is presented and applied to an actual office building. The exposure characteristics of an exposure-optimized network are compared with those of a traditional network deployment.
