Abstract:
A multiple overlapping layer wireless network system for providing coverage in a multiple-office or business environment with multiple APs, and an improved method of designing and installing these multiple layers of wireless networks. Multiple overlapping wireless networks (i.e., multiple layers) are superimposed in the same area, and offset from each other according to their geometry. This results in a multiple wireless network installation with sufficient signal coverage in all areas for all networks with minimal inter-AP interference, segregated traffic, and multiple connections for each wireless network to one or more wired networks, thereby reducing the possibility of a single point of failure.

Claim (Index 12):
A method of designing and installing multiple overlapping wireless networks in an area, comprising:\n designing a multiple overlapping wireless network plan on an electronic drawing device, comprising the steps of:\n providing, in electronic form, a floor plan for a floor in a building, said floor plan comprising an outer boundary; \n creating a first hexagonal grid comprising a plurality of equal-sized hexagons with six sides of length L, each hexagon with six vertices and a center point, each hexagon further comprising six equilateral triangles with bases corresponding to the six side; \n superimposing the first hexagonal grid on the floor plan, wherein the first hexagonal grid extends beyond the outer boundary; \n aligning the first hexagon grid so that a set of vertices are located proximate to, but inside, a section of the outer boundary; \n creating a second hexagonal grid by duplicating the first hexagonal grid and superimposing the second hexagonal grid on the floor plan; \n offsetting the second hexagon grid from the first hexagonal grid a distance equal to \u2154 of the height of an equilateral triangle at a 30 degree angle to a first maximal diameter line of a hexagon in the first hexagonal grid, without rotation of the second hexagonal grid; \n creating a third hexagonal grid by duplicating the first hexagonal grid and superimposing the third hexagonal grid on the floor plan; \n offsetting the third hexagon grid from the first hexagonal grid a distance equal to \u2154 of the height of an equilateral triangle at a 90 degree angle to the first maximal diameter line, without rotation of the third hexagonal grid; \n placing icons for first wireless access point hardware devices (first WAPs) at each first hexagonal grid vertex and center point; \n placing icons for second wireless access point hardware devices (second WAPs) at each second hexagonal grid vertex and center point; \n placing icons for third wireless access point hardware devices (first WAPs) at each third hexagonal grid vertex and center point; and \n adjusting or removing any special case or extraneous icons; and \n installing, on the floor in the building corresponding to the floor plan, a plurality of first, second and third wireless access point hardware devices at or proximate to each corresponding wireless access point icon in the corresponding hexagonal grid; creating a first wireless access network with said plurality of first wireless access point hardware devices, a second wireless access network with said plurality of second wireless access point hardware devices, and a third wireless access network with said plurality of third wireless access point hardware devices
