Coverage Improvement of IEEE 802.11n Based Campus Wide Wireless LANs

Aashi Srivastava – Rambabu Vatti – Viplavi – Jitesh Patil – Omkar Nikte

 

Abstract: Wi-Fi is the most commonly used technology for internet access. Many commercial organizations and educational complexes have been using IEEE 802.11n based wireless Local Area Networks in their campuses to provide seamless internet access to their stake holders. However, these networks suffer severe network coverage problems due to which, some of the network users in the campus will not be in the coverage of the network and some will go out of coverage when they are moving from one building to another in the campus, which causes the loss of some of the important and critical information. These no Wi-Fi coverage areas are known as Dead Zones. In this paper, the authors have made an attempt to identify dead zones in the campus by measuring Wi-Fi signal strength using Netspot tool. The Wi-Fi signal strength is represented with heat map to identify the weak signal areas and dead zones. Solutions to improve the coverage have been presented.

George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum

The George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum, located on the campus of Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas, was designed by architect Robert A.M. Stern. The library was dedicated on April 25, 2013, and it serves as the official library and museum for the 43rd President of the United States, George W. Bush.

Robert A.M. Stern is a prominent American architect known for his work on various projects, including academic buildings, museums, and residential structures.  His design reflects a traditional and monumental architectural style that combines elements of classicism with contemporary design features. The library, located on the campus of Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas, was opened to the public in 2013.

Here are some features of the Stern design:

  1. Neo-Classical Style: Robert Stern’s design for the George W. Bush Library draws inspiration from classical architectural elements, particularly evident in the grandeur of its facade. The building features symmetrical lines, grand columns, and a sense of balance and proportion reminiscent of classical architecture.
  2. Materials: The exterior of the library is clad in Texas Cordova Cream limestone, which gives the building a timeless and elegant appearance. The use of this indigenous stone connects the library to its Texas roots while also conveying a sense of permanence and strength.
  3. Grand Entrance: The entrance to the library is marked by a grand portico supported by tall columns, evoking the imagery of ancient Greek and Roman temples. This creates a sense of importance and significance befitting a presidential library.
  4. Light-filled Interior: Inside the library, natural light floods the space through expansive windows and skylights, creating an inviting and uplifting atmosphere. The interior spaces are designed to be open and airy, with high ceilings and ample room for exhibits and displays.
  5. Landscape Design: Surrounding the library is a carefully landscaped campus that includes native Texas plantings, walking paths, and outdoor gathering spaces. The landscape design complements the architecture of the building and provides visitors with opportunities for reflection and relaxation.

We refer to him as American Vitruvius, given his influence on the architecture of so many educational settlements; reflecting classical elegance with contemporary functionality.
