Abstract :
An algorithm is presented for the optimal placement of access points, followed by a minimization of the cost for connecting WLAN networks to the power and ethernet network. The algorithm is described and applied to a simple building layout. The algorithm outputs an overview of the different costs and allows WLAN installers to build the cheapest solution.
