Abstract

We have developed a geographical location estimation system for WiFi user in campus to help network administration. We use WiFi radio wave to estimate users´location. The system measures strength of radio wave between WiFi access point and a user´s PC. We have developed and implemented calculation formulas. The system calculates distance between the pair for the estimation. Then the system shows the estimated user´s geographical location on the campus map via Web browser. A network administrator may know users´ geographical location easily to use this system.
