The Method of Adaptive Radio Coverage Formation of Wireless Network Based on the Wi-Fi controller

Abstract

In recent days, the wireless communication technology has become an integral part of several types of communication devices as it allows users to communicate even from remote areas. Wi-Fi is one of the main types of wireless communication used by many electronic devices such as laptops, smart phones and Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Using Wi-Fi infrastructure to provide quality multimedia services and deploying IoT services requires new approaches to network resource management. The method of adaptive size formation of a Wi-Fi network cell in the corporate infrastructure is proposed. The idea of the method is to adapt the size of a Wi-Fi cell coverage depending on the QoS requirements and load localization under conditions of insufficient bandwidth resources for network users and IoT devices. This method is implemented by writing a script file on the Cisco 5508 Wi-Fi controller that makes informed decisions on changing the cell coverage size in a centralized manner. Using this method allowed to provide high-speed wireless Internet access for users, provide a good QoS for IoT services and increase Wi-Fi network availability in high network-load conditions by effectively managing network resources depending on the actual operation scenario and requirements of individual users and IoT devices.
