METHOD FOR EVALUATING LOCATIONS OF WIRELESS ACCESS POINTS IN AN HYBRID NETWORK

摘要

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 a quality of relative locations of a first wireless access point (AP,) and of a plurality second wireless access points (APj), said first and second wireless access points (APi, APj) being 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 configured for communicating with said first and second wireless access points (APi, APj) via said backbone (BB), said station (SC) being further configured for sending information to a terminal; wherein the first access point (APi) being configured for receiving via a wireless interface a wireless signal sent by said second access points (APj); According to the invention said method involves, at said station (SC), steps for: receiving (1) from each of said first access point (APi) levels (RSSi, j) of said wireless signal received by said first access point (AP,) from said second access point (APj) via said backbone (BB); processing (100) said levels (RSSi, j) with a first level (L1) and a second level (L2) for elaborating a first and a second information (I1, I2) on the location of the plurality of first and second access points (APi); sending (1000) said first and second information (I1, I2) to the terminal.
