Análisis de la intensidad de potencia de la red eduroam para la FIE a través de un mapa de cobertura en 3D con mediciones indoor y outdoor.

Abstract

In this Titulation work, the Eduroam network of the Faculty of Informatics and Electronics (FIE) was analyzed through a 3D coverage map with indoor and outdoor measurements to determine the power intensity. The study was carried out inside the main building of the faculty and in the environments outside the building, parking lots, and the automation and control building of the faculty, using the SRM-3006 NARDA measurement equipment, which was configured in such a way that it works for WLAN technology and in the 2.4 GHz band. Each measurement complies with international standards developed by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), which proposes a minimum measurement time of 6 minutes to obtain each sample. Additionally, to meet the stated objectives, a measurement system was used through a laptop with the NetSpot software, which provides information on the operating channel and the standard that Wi-Fi technology uses to provide coverage to Eduroam network users. The measurements allowed a comparison between the values obtained with the NARDA equipment, the NetSpot software and the ITU propagation models for indoors and the COST 231 model for outdoors, in order to obtain both theoretical and real, an overview of the various areas with and without coverage throughout the defined study area. These measurements made it possible to determine various power intensity values that made it possible to define the quality of the Internet access service; The results obtained allowed us to propose recommendations to improve the coverage service of the Eduroam network. All the measured data were entered into a virtual environment developed in Unity, which allowed generating the coverage map of the faculty.
