Table 5.6: WLAN capacity with two APs for web applicati<strong>on</strong><br />
In c<strong>on</strong>clusi<strong>on</strong>, <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> throughput, RSS, and capacity plan revealed that two APs not <strong>on</strong>ly<br />
provide sufficient RSS and throughput, but also sufficient capacity to support staff who<br />
worked in <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g>fice.<br />
5.6 Recommendati<strong>on</strong>s for Access Point Deployment<br />
To find optimal locati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> AP placement, we c<strong>on</strong>ducted an extensive series <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />
propagati<strong>on</strong> measurements and an in-depth comparis<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> throughput with different AP<br />
placement scenarios and AP c<strong>on</strong>figurati<strong>on</strong>s. We also assessed <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> capability <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> APs.<br />
However, all <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> those <strong>on</strong>ly solved partial issues <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> AP deployment. Therefore, we would<br />
like to provide some recommendati<strong>on</strong>s for practical AP deployment which we derived<br />
from this study. The recommendati<strong>on</strong>s are presented based <strong>on</strong> two scenarios: a small<br />
<str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g>fice, a home <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g>fice (SOHO) envir<strong>on</strong>ment (secti<strong>on</strong> 5.6.1) and a medium-sized business<br />
envir<strong>on</strong>ment (secti<strong>on</strong> 5.6.2).<br />
