Analysis of the coverage area of the access point using netspot simulation

Abstract

This research aims to map the territory of blankspot on that location, so that it can be used as a reference for optimizing the placement of access points. The research method used was the experiment through the drive test using Nestpot software. The analysis performed includes: Signal level, Signal-to Interference ratio, and Quantity of Access point. Experimental results indicate the quality of the reception on location observed is not the same, some point receive very strong signals from more than one access point, while some other point still entered into the realm of blankspot. Of research results also gained some room located near some of the access point are having Signal to Interference Ratio.
