@ARTICLE{Talepour, author = {Talepour, Zeinab and Ahmadi Shokouh, Javad and Tavakoli, Saeed and }, title = { Optimum Indoor Signal Coverage of Dense Distributed Receivers via Ray Tracing Coupled with Genetic Algorithm }, volume = {5}, number = {2}, abstract ={In this paper, we propose an optimization method to suitable locating minimum number of transmitter antennas to provide adequately signal coverage in a given indoor environment. This method is based on an integrated realized Ray-Tracing (RT) technique, so-called Ray-Tracing Engine (RTE), and Genetic Algorithm (GA). This integration provides an intelligent system in optimization process. To provide freedom in furniture placement each corner of every room contains a receiver. Therefore, we have a dense map of RSS distribution in propagation environment. According to Simulation results a full coverage using integrated RTE and GA is achieved through suitably locating three transmitters. Furthermore, GA avoids the time consuming process of antenna location finding in an exhaustive search method. }, URL = {http://ijict.itrc.ac.ir/article-1-157-en.html}, eprint = {http://ijict.itrc.ac.ir/article-1-157-en.pdf}, journal = {International Journal of Information and Communication Technology Research}, doi = {}, year = {2013} }
