In accordance with the deployment requirements of WLAN node in college student dorms and its features of application environment, this paper studies the relevance among factors like radio-frequency signal transmission characteristics, communication distance, AP height and transmission path, etc., with a case study of AP radio frequency 2.4GHz. Experiments show that the attenuation of wireless network signal in student dorms conforms to Keenan-Motley model. When AP is fixed, the signal strength received by laptop generally reduces with the increase of communication distance, yet just opposite with packet loss rate. When deploying AP, 1.25-1.75 height is ideal, and one-side coverage of 3 dorm rooms optimal. Based on the above researches, a relational model of AP height, communication distance and received signal strength is established. In it, model parameter and AP height display a cubic polynomial relationship, and attenuation coefficient and AP height show a quadratic polynomial relationship. Experiment results demonstrate that this model can satisfactorily predict the received signal strength of different AP heights and communication distances, providing technical support for wireless network deployment in student dorms.
