RF Plan
Optimization
RF Plan Optimization is the importing of RF measurement data into an RF
model to improve the accuracy of the model.
A network plan contains the configuration settings that determine the
performance of your wireless network. Optimization of the RF model
leads to a more successful RF plan. The ultimate result is an accurate
visualization of your RF coverage, better-defined statistics for monitoring,
and the ability to more accurately plan for and improve network
performance.
You can optimize your network based on user and network statistics
gathered from:
The monitoring data in 3WXM
A site survey
Based on RF measurement data you gather in 3WXM to optimize the RF
model of a floor, you can make configuration changes in the software to
improve signal strength and coverage for groups or individuals, modify
MAP locations, or add additional equipment to your wireless network if
statistics indicate your network has outgrown the support provided by its
current deployment of WX switches and MAPs.
You also can import RF measurement data based on a site survey done
outside of 3WXM. See the "Using RF Measurements from MAPs" on
page 170 for general guidelines about performing a site survey.
