Abstract

Recently, humans are more and more dependent to communication technologies (CT) in their everyday life to get services, exchange information and communicate with their relatives. Hence, many researches have been made in order to propose convenient and low-cost solutions compatible with the context of smart spaces. This paper characterizes the range of WiFi for outdoor applications in comparison with most known empirical path loss models, and analyzes its impact for smart space services like Internet of Things (IoT). The obtained range is 550m tested with a Samsung Galaxy S5 smartphone, and the comparison with empirical model showed a good difference. Hence the validity and accuracy of those models will be examined for this context, in order to develop an empirical model taking into account environmental effect during our future research. As solutions based on WiFi are generally low cost, its technical characteristics are illustrated and a wide deployment scenario based on this technology is explained on light of obtained results.

智能空间应用的WiFi覆盖范围表征

近年来，人们在日常生活中越来越依赖于通信技术(CT)来获取服务、交换信息和与亲人沟通。因此，为了提出与智能空间背景相适应的方便、低成本的解决方案，人们进行了许多研究。本文通过与大多数已知的经验路径损耗模型的比较，描述了户外应用WiFi的范围，并分析了其对物联网(IoT)等智能空间服务的影响。用三星Galaxy S5智能手机测试得到的距离为550m，与经验模型比较有很好的差异。因此，这些模型的有效性和准确性将在此背景下进行检验，以便在我们未来的研究中开发一个考虑环境影响的经验模型。由于基于WiFi的解决方案成本普遍较低，本文阐述了WiFi的技术特点，并结合研究结果说明了基于WiFi的广泛部署场景。
