Abstract

This paper models the signal strength measurements at 2.4 GHz in indoor environment. The received signal strength indicator (RSSI) measurement is used to investigate the wireless network coverage in a real office environment where obstacles such as furniture are present. From this experiment, a mapping is created to determine the suitable positions for a short range sensor nodes deployment for sensing humidity, temperature, human movement, etc. The purpose is to evaluate the suitable area for WSN deployments using RF signal and to minimize the number of sensor nodes required for data gathering and monitoring applications. The result shows that through adequate planning of WSN nodes, good radio coverage and efficient monitoring can be achieved for greener building.
