Design and Optimization of Antenna Systems for Campus Wi-Fi Infrastructure: A Study for Educational Environments

Abstract

Antenna systems are important in improving Wi-Fi infrastructure in campuses, which helps in smooth connectivity for educational activities. Efficient wireless communication is also important to support e-learning, video conferencing, and digital collaboration in the modern educational institutions. Poor coverage and interference limit most of these existing methods’ signals, hence not guaranteeing satisfactory user experience as well as optimal network performance. These have been worsened by the typical dense usage nature as well as various campus environments within educational places. This paper aims to present a framework based on Access Point Placement using Wireless Coverage Modeling (APP-WCM) tools. It uses advanced simulation and optimization techniques to find optimal antenna configurations and placements that minimize coverage gaps and interference. The proposed approach uses electromagnetic simulation tools and optimization algorithms to develop antenna systems optimized for specific campus topologies. It is useful in efficient use of resources while meeting the needs of remote learning, multimedia streaming, and a high user density. The signal coverage, throughput, and reliability of the proposed framework are considerably improved, ensuring a robust and scalable Wi-Fi infrastructure for educational campuses.
