Evaluation of the Reliability of Heat Map Planner Software to Assist in Indoor Positioning

This research is aimed at learning and understand how to make a heat map to design a suitable access point and then compare the discrepancies between the heat map and the signal quality measurement at the actual work Including statistical comparison of the signal distribution through different types of walls for calculating the location of the Wi-Fi devices in indoor positioning. To study the efficiency of the Wi-Fi signal that can be distributed evenly across the locations. The method of operation is designing the installation location of the access point and use it to specify the location in the Heat Map Planner software to measure the Wi-Fi signal and then measure the actual signal storage area. Then, the measured values from the actual work site were compared statistically with the program values to see the efficiency of the broadcasting. In conducting this analysis, it will be possible to find the possible tolerances and then be able to perform the next heat map efficiently. There are fewer mistakes. In conclusion, the quality of the concrete wall distribution compared with the outdoor signal quality measurement, there was a reduction of -12dBm. The signal quality through the Glass Wall with Metal Frame compared to the outdoor signal quality measurement, signal attenuation down to -7dBm.
