Calculate the number of APs using formulas or Huawei WLAN Planner.

Formulas involved are as follows:

Total bandwidth:

Total bandwidth = Number of users x Percentage of concurrent users x Bandwidth per user

AP quantity (largest value among the following three calculation results)

AP quantity = Total bandwidth/Bandwidth per AP

AP quantity = Total number of users/Number of access users on each AP

AP quantity = Total number of users/(Air interface rate of an AP/Bandwidth per user)

Total bandwidth = Number of users (140) x Percentage of concurrent users (80%) x Bandwidth per
user (2 Mbit/s) = 224 Mbit/s

AP quantity (rounds up the calculated value to the nearest integer)

2012-12-01

AP quantity = Total bandwidth (224)/Bandwidth per AP (150) = 2

AP quantity = Total number of users (140)/Number of access users on each AP (30) = 5

AP quantity = Total number of users (140)/(Air interface rate of an AP (150)/Bandwidth per user
(2)) = 2

Based on the preceding calculation results, the number of APs required in this example is 5.

The preceding figure shows differences among three dual-band APs. The largest differences lie in the
product grade and maximum transmit power. The AP5010DN and AP3010DN are cost-effective APs, with
the maximum transmit power of 50 mW. The AP6010DN is a standard AP and supports a maximum
transmit power of 100 mW. Based on the application scenario and customer budget, this experiment uses
AP6010DNs.

To meet customer requirements, this project uses WDS networking, in which the APs use the 2.4 GHz radio
for signal coverage and 5 GHz radio for data backhaul. Only a few APs need to connect to the wired
network, requiring no optical interface. Under this circumstance, this experiment deploys the AP6510s.
Patch directional antennas are used as the 5 GHz backhaul antennas and pole-mounting omnidirectional
antennas as the 2.4 GHz antennas.
Exercises:
1.

Use the WLAN Planner to check the maximum power consumption of the two types of outdoor APs
and their 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radio power.

2.

Use the WLAN Planner to check the 2.4 GHz pole-mounting omnidirectional antennas and 5 GHz
patch directional antennas supported by Huawei outdoor APs.

Adjust AP parameters, such as the antenna type, height, and direction based on the following principles:
If APs used for regular wireless coverage are located in the center of the target coverage area,
omnidirectional antennas can be used and the antenna gain is determined based on the size of the
coverage area.

If APs used for regular wireless coverage are located on one side of the target coverage area,
directional antennas can be used and the antenna gain is determined based on the size of the coverage
area.

Root APs on the WDS network use 5 GHz omnidirectional antennas. The antenna gain is determined
according to the wireless backhaul distance.

Leaf APs on the WDS network use 5 GHz patch directional antennas for short-distance coverage and 5
GHz satellite antennas for long-distance coverage.

Root APs and leaf APs must work on the same 5 GHz radio channel.

After the settings are complete, click View Planned Resources to view AP planning information.

2.8 Simulate Signal Coverage


In the AP Deployment tab, select 2.4G or 5G to view signal simulation diagram of the selected radio. If
there are coverage holes, modify AP parameters, such as AP location, antenna type, installation mode, and
installation height.

Scenario Description

i
e
aw

XX company has 800 employees and intends to build a WLAN to deliver mobile office and mobile voice
services. Based on network planning, the WLAN requires 40 APs and one or two ACs. The company's
existing network has a complete campus switching network that uses a hierarchical architecture design and
enough access switches to provide PoE power.

u

This experiment is to make an overall WLAN design matching the customer's existing network scenario,
which consists of device selection, networking design, redundancy design, security design, and roaming
design.

XX company has deployed a WLAN. However, as more and more employees connect to the WLAN, some
faults occur on the WLAN, for example, some users cannot associate with the network, the Internet access
rate is slow, and users go offline during roaming. Suppose you are the WLAN maintenance engineer of the
company, optimize the WLAN to address the existing problems (this experiment optimizes the network by
modifying configurations rather than by adjusting installation positions and antenna azimuth).

6.3 Capacity Optimization

Problem Analysis:

Some APs do not have 40-MHz channel bandwidth enabled on the 5 GHz radio. It is recommended that
you enable 40-MHz channel bandwidth on the 5 GHz radio and configure short GI.

with 40-MHz channel bandwidth on the 5 GHz radio.

6.4 Radio Calibration


Problem Analysis:

u
h
.
g
n

i
e
aw

A wireless user may go offline unexpectedly due to WLAN interference or because the user roams to a
coverage hole area. To optimize the WLAN, eliminate interference sources or calibrate AP radios manually
to prevent interference to AP channels. You can also configure fast roaming on APs to speed up the roaming
process.

i
n
ar

When the number of users connected to one AP exceeds the access threshold (one AP can connect to a
maximum of 32 APs by default), new users may fail to connect to the AP or roaming users may go offline.
To address this problem, configure dynamic load balancing between APs.

e
l
//

Optimization Commands:

Manual radio calibration is implemented based on AP regions. Therefore, confirm the region of APs on
which radio calibration is implemented first. The radio calibration commands are as follows:

You can also enable automatic radio calibration, which is disabled by default.
NOTE

Manual or automatic radio calibration will interrupt wireless services temporarily; therefore, you are advised to implement
radio calibration during after-work hours or at night.

L
Problem Analysis:

If a STA uses WPA EAP authentication, it performs a 4-way handshake to negotiate the password with the
AC, which takes a long time. Enable key negotiation between the STA and AP. This will reduce the
roaming time from 200 ms to about 20 ms.
Optimization Commands:
[AC6005-wlan-view]ap-profile id 0
[AC6005-wlan-ap-prof-ap-profile-0]4-way-handshake ap

After the configuration is complete, test the packet loss ratio and delay to check whether the roaming
efficiency is improved.
