Abstract

Different construction materials cause significant losses when subjected to wireless signals along propagation path. A change in the signal strength, losses and user experience occur as a result of the complex composition of the materials. This paper investigated Wi-Fi (2.4GHz) signal when subjected to an enclosure dimension (0.24mx0.20mx0.16m) made of three timber species namely: Chlorophoral excels (Iroko), Afzelia Africans (Apa) and Gosswei Lerodendrin balsamic ferum (Agba); a reflective glass and solid reinforced concrete. Received Signal Strength (RSS), Upload and Download speed (Mbps) and Jitter (ms) have been considered. The steps taken involve finding the penetration loss from the RSS with their respective data representation and drawing fact from the represented data. The results show that material C has 35.4% increase in indoor signal strength, material E has 8.8% decrease in indoor signal strength, material A, B and D has 63.7%, 46.3% and 71.2% decrease respectively in indoor received signal strength. The result from QoS parameter (Jitter) are compared for both outdoor and indoor. Relatively, it shows that Material A and Material E will provide improved experience to the user.

家居建筑材料对Wi-Fi信号的影响

不同的建筑材料在受到无线信号沿传播路径的影响时，会造成很大的损耗。由于材料的复杂组成，信号强度、损耗和用户体验都会发生变化。本文研究了Wi-Fi (2.4GHz)信号在三种木材(即:Chlorophoral excels (Iroko)， Afzelia Africans (Apa)和Gosswei Lerodendrin balsamic ferum (Agba))制成的封闭尺寸(0.24mx0.20mx0.16m)下的信号;反光玻璃和坚固的钢筋混凝土。接收信号强度(RSS)，上传和下载速度(Mbps)和抖动(ms)已被考虑。所采取的步骤包括从具有各自数据表示的RSS中找到穿透损失，并从表示的数据中得出事实。结果表明，材料C的室内信号强度增加35.4%，材料E的室内信号强度下降8.8%，材料A、B、D的室内接收信号强度分别下降63.7%、46.3%、71.2%。对室外和室内的QoS参数(抖动)结果进行了比较。相对而言，材料A和材料E将为用户提供更好的体验。
