The invention relates to the field of hybrid networks comprising a wired backbone infrastructure set up in a surface-limited area, and wireless access points plugged on said backbone, said access points forming a wireless network covering partially or totally said area. More particularly, the invention relates to a method for evaluating locations of a plurality of first and second wireless access points (AP i ) connected to a wired backbone (BB) of an hybrid network (HN), said hybrid network (HN) further comprising:
a station (SC) being connected to said backbone (BB) and being adapted for communicating with the plurality of access points (APi) via said backbone (BB) and for sending information to a terminal;
a first access point (APi) being adapted for receiving via a wireless interface signals sent by said second access points (APj); According to the invention said method involves steps for:
measuring (1) by said first access point (APi) levels (RSSI i,j ) of said signals received by said first access point (APi) from said second access point (APj);
sending (10) by said first access points (APi) said levels (RSSI i,j ) to said station (SC) via said backbone (BB);
processing (100) by said station (SC) said levels (RSSI i,j ) with a first level (L1) and a second level (L2) for elaborating information (l1, l2) on the location of the plurality of first and second access points (APi);
sending (1000) said information (l1, l2) by said station (SC) to the terminal. |
