Abstract:
The disclosure includes a method of and associated system for placing nodes in a wireless local area network (WLAN). The method includes receiving user-specified parameters regarding the network. The parameters can include a layout of a building or other space, and requirements for the WLAN. An algorithm then employs these parameters to automatically create and optimized layout of multiple wireless access points for the WLAN. The method can display the layout and provide various types of information to the user.

Claim (Index 1):
A method placing nodes in a wireless local area network, the method comprising: receiving user-specified parameters regarding the wireless local area network, including: a layout of a space in which the wireless local area network is to be located, and\n a maximum number of wireless access points, or a number of users and a minimum wireless data throughput for at least some of the wireless access points; performing a first phase of an algorithm by automatically creating a collection of candidate solutions to an optimized layout of multiple wireless access points within the space layout, wherein the candidate solutions at least in part take into account the user-specified parameters; performing at least a second phase of the algorithm by automatically adjusting the candidate solutions in the collection to obtain the optimized layout of the multiple wireless access points within the space layout, wherein the optimized layout at least in part takes into account the user-specified parameters; and displaying the optimized layout of the multiple wireless access points within the space layout.
