Access Points (APs) in wireless networks have gained significant attention in several prospective such as estimating, propagating the Radio Frequency (RF), managing, and operating the network, and several challenges pose a critical manner, especially in indoor localization like obstacles, moving objects, the different materials building, and signal interference. According to previous issues, selecting an optimum location for APs has attracted researchers to find low-cost localization methods and approaches for indoor communication as it significantly affects the networks’ coverage, operation, and management. In this article, a problem investigation analysis and evaluation are conducted inside the Department of Electrical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, at the University of Kufa by using the combination of the received signal levels (RSL) and the effective service coverage area for APs that installed on both sides of the department building. Each AP has different points in several rooms inside the building (17 points for the left and 18 points for the right side). Furthermore, this research proposed a new optimized design that provides high coverage area and service quality coverage in signal and connection. The evaluation results show the highest RSL value achieved, which is − 47 dBm, and the lowest RSL reaches − 87 dBm. Hence, the presented wireless signal coverage and performance have been analyzed and shown disheartening results in covering the entire building because it is on barrier two walls. Moreover, the far-away AP distance and the presence of the walls have weakened the transmitted signal, which caused the poor quality of service.KeywordsIndoor communicationAP locationIndoor networkWireless access pointReceived signal levelService coverage area

In this technologically evolving era, security plays a significant role in preventing different assets and crimes. This inconsistency developed an innovative idea to improve the level and solve the existing problems. This paper proposes a well-suited multilayer security system for homes, bank lockers, and more locations we can use it. Traditionally, password and biometric double-layer security systems use everywhere, but this embedded solution combines RFID, OTP, and fingerprint identification in sequence. Essential modules are connected and controlled through a microcontroller with a GSM module. Every operation done by the system pushes to the IoT cloud, and the mobile application shows the status of every action. The right authorized access can let the magnetic switch open, and every unauthorized access turns on the alarm with appropriate message notifications. The Proposed system is more effective and reliable due to multistage security, and it is not easy to crack with the combination of all three stages.

The difficulty of implementing a localization system in an indoor environment has been exacerbated by multipath and interference issues. In this area, the most essential techniques for establishing such parameters are Time of Arrival (ToA) and Receive Signal Strength (RSS). Both of which should be enhanced, especially for extra interference caused by large multipath problems. The suggested techniques of this analysis are implemented in this article via the use of a case study of a chosen structure. The Hyperbolic method is used in this proposal to estimate the location of chosen targets.TheWireless InSite (WI) software was used to simulate the case study area, with thirty Receivers (RXs) and two Transmitters (TXs) placed in strategic locations. After recording the RSS and ToA values, it will be stored as a database. Such database is indicated as a relation carves using MATLAB package. The results indicate that the estimated locations are reasonably close to the actual locations, with an average error of (0.498349) m for the X-coordinate and (1.151832) m for the Y-coordinate based on RSS. Such a result came from distance error of (0.453345667) m and (0.484111) m for TX1 and TX2, respectively. On the other hand, based on ToA, the average error is (0.551781) m for the X-coordinate and (0.968433) m for the Y-coordinate with the distance error are (0.36676) m, and (0.4011592) m for TX1 and TX2, respectively. As a consequence, we confirm that the ToA approach is more effective in assessing indoor localization than the RSS method in the hyperbolic method.

Optimizing the Access Point (AP) deployment has a great role in wireless applications due to the need for providing an efficient communication with low deployment costs. Quality of Service (QoS), is a major significant parameter and objective to be considered along with AP placement as well the overall deployment cost. This study proposes and investigates a multi-level optimization algorithm called Wireless Optimization Algorithm for Indoor Placement (WOAIP) based on Binary Particle Swarm Optimization (BPSO). WOAIP aims to obtain the optimum AP multi-floor placement with effective coverage that makes it more capable of supporting QoS and cost-effectiveness. Five pairs (coverage, AP deployment) of weights, signal thresholds and received signal strength (RSS) measurements simulated using Wireless InSite (WI) software were considered in the test case study by comparing the results collected from WI with the present wireless simulated physical AP deployment of the targeted building - Computer Science Department at University of Baghdad. The performance evaluation of WOAIP shows an increase in terms of AP placement and optimization distinguished in order to increase the wireless coverage ratio to 92.93% compared to 58.5% of present AP coverage (or 24.5% coverage enhancement on average).

Optimizing the Access Point (AP) deployment is of great importance in wireless applications owing the requirement to provide efficient and cost-effective communication. Highly targeted by many researchers and academic industries, Quality of Service (QOS) is an important primary parameter and objective in mind along with AP placement and overall publishing cost. This study proposes and investigates a multi-level optimization algorithm based on Binary Particle Swarm Optimization (BPSO). It aims to an optimal multi-floor AP placement with effective coverage that makes it more capable of supporting QOS and cost effectiveness.
