Abstract
A method and apparatus are provided for obtaining a signal strength model for an access point at an arbitrary location, q, at a site. Signal strength measurements are obtained for each of n sampling points; the signal strength received at the arbitrary location, q, is computed from each of the sampling points (for example, using reciprocity principles); signal strength estimates corresponding to the signal received at the sampling points from the arbitrary location are computed; and a signal strength model is determined for an access point positioned at the arbitrary location, q.
