Patent ID: 10021668

Abstract:
It is an object to provide a wireless characteristic display apparatus that displays wireless characteristics at a location where a multihop wireless mesh network is to be created, the apparatus being able to reduce discrepancies between displayed characteristics and actual characteristics and being able to reduce complexity in processing to obtain wireless characteristics and in the configuration of the apparatus.The wireless characteristic display apparatus includes a first determination unit that performs interpolation processing on the basis of reception qualities obtained by measuring a wireless transmission signal from the same wireless node at a plurality of locations, and determines a reception quality at a location other than the measurement locations; a second determination unit that determines a pair of wireless nodes capable of bidirectional inter-node communication on the basis of the reception qualities obtained by the first determination unit and information on installation locations of wireless nodes; a third determination unit that determines a second communication range corresponding to the sum of communication ranges of the pair of wireless nodes obtained by the second determination unit; and a display unit that displays installation locations of the wireless nodes constituting the pair of wireless nodes obtained by the second determination unit and the second communication range obtained by the third determination unit.
