Coverage Area – Point to Multipoint

• Questions:

  • How many clients can see your AP?
  • What sort of signal strength can the clients expect?

• Propagation Prediction Methods:

  • An elaborate form of ray-tracing.
  • Longley-Rice
  • Terrain-Integrated Rough-Earth Model (TIREM)
    • Considered a better method
  • Both can over-predict 5-17dB.
  • The more expensive software modifies these methods for better accuracy.
