Abstract :
Designing a low-power system for wireless communication within a building might seem simple. Not so-walls can affect signal strength in ways that are hard to calculate. The paper considers how AT&T´s WISE software uses CAD, computational geometry, and optimization to quickly plan where to place base-station transceivers
