ABSTRACT
This paper presents an automatic planning software tool for indoor wireless networks. As a consequence of increasing number of wireless interface based systems, automation of deployments becomes actually relevant. There are a lot of parameters that influences network performance, so designers have to take them into account. The larger the network is, the more complex its planning results are. Planning determines performance, and getting it manually is not efficient. Mentioned tool automatically looks for an optimal planning solution, in terms of base stations distribution and frequency planning. It consists of analyzing data obtained by means of environment simulation. The user is able to decide the optimization criterion and the algorithm for searching solutions. This tool obtains an optimal solution in a short period of time, and it shows results such as power received at each user spatial point, interference level or traffic load for each station.
