Mobile robotic access point for transitional optimization of wireless access point positioning

Abstract

A mobile robotic access point (AP) is proposed to provide better wireless network environment. This AP automatically searches and moves to the best position to provide enough radio power for all devices connected to the AP. We designed the mobile robotic AP and evaluate its performance in experiment. It was found that the proposed AP can increase radio power for all devices connected to the AP by searching the best position of the AP. The obtained result suggests that the proposed AP is suitable to provide comfortable Wi-Fi network environment in indoor environment.
