Abstract
Wi-Fi location services typically involve requirements that span beyond traditional Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) coverage information. For example, inspecting RSSI coverage alone typically does not provide a good indication of whether a wireless network can support location services in a given area. In order to address such issues, a location-readiness planner is proposed herein in which the planner may encompass a tool that is capable of computing location-readiness in all points of a three-dimensional (3D) area utilizing a predefined location-readiness metric. The planner can recommend access point (AP) placements using the predefined location-readiness metric and an efficient genetic algorithm. The planner can also generate insights and trigger notifications for a network administrator, for example, upon determining changes in a configuration of the network.
