Desarrollo de una aplicación Android para realizar mapas de cobertura de las redes WLAN con estándar IEEE 802.11 en la banda de 2.4GHz.

Abstract

This project is about the use of the WLAN parameters for the efficient administration of each network, doing a site survey of the WLAN signals that are near the device. This can be useful for the administration of the networks to determine the optimal parameters according to the environment presented in a limited area such as a building or a campus. This project presents as a solution an application that allows access to the information of the Wi-Fi receiver integrated in smartphones with an Android operating system. The Wi-Fi receiver has the ability to detect the parameters of the signals using the standard IEEE 802.11 b, g and n in the 2.4GHz band. The application allows the detection of the SSID, BSSID, type of security, frequency and power level and then displays them onto the screen, using this information the application makes frequency and coverage graphs and finally a PDF report is made and exported the memory of the device. This project is completed with the implementation of the application in two different smartphones and comparisons with the Ekahau Heatmapper software and the Wi-Fi Analyzer and Surveyor application.
