Abstract

Fuzzy logic modelling can be applied to evaluate the behaviour of Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN) received signal strength (RSS). The behavior study of WLAN signal strength is a pivotal part of WLAN tracking analysis. Previous analytical model has not been addressed effectively for analyzing how the WLAN infrastructure affected the accuracy of tracking. In this paper, we propose a novel fuzzy spatiotemporal topographic model. We implemented the proposed model with a large (9.34 hectare), built-up university, over 2,000 access points to survey and collect WLAN received signal strength (RSS). We applied the Nelder-Mead (NM) method to simplify our previous work on fuzzy color map into a topographic (line-based) map. The new model can provide a detail and quantitative strong representation of WLAN RSS. Finally, it serves as a quicker reference and efficient analysis tool for improving the design of WLAN infrastructure.
