3D Wireless Networks Simulator
- visualization of Radio Frequency propagation
for WLANs.
friends...Interesting document...on:
The entire process of designing the wireless system still remains the big
challenge. Prediction of signal propagation in different environments is essential in
wireless network planning. The main goal of propagation modelling is to determine
the probability of acceptable performance of a system based on radio signal
propagation. If the results of the modelling are much different form reality it can
dramatically increase costs, in the worst case the entire network must be redesigned
and rebuilt or simply when constraints of the model were to restrictive some
elements can overlap their functionality.
Moreover, current research projects within the ubiquitous computing clearly
presents demand for suitable test environments. Here, modelling and visualisation of
the radio wave signal propagation is one of the many features that could make life
easier. Especially in the area of development where the evaluation of the pervasive
environments is always limited by common set of problems involving cost and
logistics of implementation of such systems.
This dissertation describes a simulator called WiFi Simulator, a unique
combination of a wireless system planning tool and a popular game, that has been
developed to support engineers, network administrators, researches and regular
wireless system users testing and analysing radio wave signal propagation in a virtual
3D environment. Based on a 3D games engine, the simulator has been designed to
maximise usability and flexibility while minimising working knowledge of the game
engine. The primary focuses of the research are visualization aspects of data
representation.
