Abstract
Abstract In indoor communication, when handling the design issue for the wireless network, it is very important to select the appropriate wireless Access Point (AP) devices and specify the optimum locations for these devices deployment. In addition, reducing the total number of disseminated devices. In this paper, it has been investigating the network performance on the presidency building of middle technical university and based on AP deployment in the targeted building. Such investigation has been achieved using Wireless InSite software, based on the calculation of the parameters of path loss, and received power. Results obtained show significant variation in network performance and coverage at a different part of the building. As a result, a significant contribution has been proposed in enhancing the network performance, reducing the number of utilized AP devices from 13 to 8 devices. Furthermore, reducing both the total implementation costs and the interference effects inside the building.
