1.2. SUMMARY OF DETECTED NETWORKS The following table summarizes Networks, physical Access Points, and MAC Addresses (BSSIDs) providing network access throughout the survey locations: - Location: Physical area where a survey was taken. - Networks: Number of Networks detected. - Access Points (APs): Number of physical access points detected. - BSSIDs: Networks provided by those physical access points as indicated by different MAC addresses. The number of BSSIDs can exceed the number of physical APs because a single AP can propagate more than one network by using different MAC addresses.

4. WIRELESS PREDICTIVE PLANNING This section contains the digraphs, plans and heat maps of the wireless infrastructure design. The planning is the first stage in a wifi network installation, where in a theoretical way, the locations of the access points as well as the conditions and constructive elements of the area where the wireless infrastructure is going to be deployed are approached.
4.1. LOCATION PLANNING: OSCD ASWF For each location, we have a plan of where to locate the access points. 4.1.1. PLANNING DETAILS This is the blueprint on which planning has been carried out. The constructive elements drawn are detailed as well as the location of the access points for its later analysis and validation using the planning algorithms. Una buena infraestructura WiFi necesita una buena intensidad de señal, por lo que es importante distribuir los APs de forma que las áreas de interés dispongan de buena cobertura y sean capaces de cubrir todo el area sin que muros o paredes degraden la emisión.

5.2. RADIO FREQUENCY SPECTRUM This section represents the information collected from radio electrical medium for the 2.4 and 5Ghz frequency bands. Wireless transmissions operate on one of these bands, according to the 802.11 communication standard being implemented. For each band, an access point operates in a frequency subset. Depending on the access point configuration, and the 802.11 standard revision, networks can operate in frequency bandwidths of 20, 40, 80, or even 160 Mhz. Therefore, an access point that is set to operate on channel 6 of the 2.4Ghz frequency band, with a 20Mhz bandwidth, will use the frequencies of the channels 4,5,6,7, and 8 (two channels to the left and another two channels to the right from the central channel 6). Wi-Fi communications quality is decreased in an environment of coexisting radio transmission on the same frequencies. These emissions may come from neighboring wireless networks or from any other source. This section displays all emissions in the operating frequency bands, whether coming from Wi-Fi devices or not. The areas where radio emissions are detected but no access point is in operation, suggest the presence of devices emitting in the same range of frequencies that are negatively impacting the communications quality.

5.2.1. 2.4GHZ The following graph displays the 2.4GHz band radio emissions used in Wi-Fi communications. This frequency range is widely used by multiple wireless technologies. Many devices such as Bluetooth headsets, microwave ovens, surveillance cameras, baby monitors, wireless phones, drone remote controls, among others, operate on the 2.4GHz band.
The graph can't be generated due to the absence of spectrum data in the current location.

5.2.2. 5GHZ The following graph displays the 5GHz band radio emissions used in Wi-Fi communications. This frequency range is widely used by multiple wireless technologies. However, the 2.4Ghz frequency range is more often used than the 5Ghz band.
The graph can't be generated due to the absence of spectrum data in the current location.

5.3.2.1.4. CO-CHANNEL INTERFERENCE This control displays those areas where co-channel interference parameters are met. An AP is considered to have co-channel interference when there is another AP transmitting on the same channel within its wireless range. When co-channel overlap exists, multiple access points must share the frequency. Since only one access point can transmit on a given frequency at a time, when an access point has data to transmit, it must first analyze the spectrum to determine if there is another device currently using the chosen channel. If it finds another device currently using the channel, it must wait for it to finish before it can use it. This significantly reduces the available bandwidth to each access point since the available bandwidth must be divided among all the access points using that channel.

5.3.2.1.7. PACKET LOSS The packet loss rate is the percentage of packets that do not reach their destination which are (usually) retransmitted. Packet loss has a negative impact on network performance. When a packet does not reach its destination, packet retransmission is usually requested by the recipient, adding additional time to complete the transmission. Packet loss rates under 10% are acceptable and will have a negligible impact on network performance in most cases.

5.3.2.1.8. ACCESS POINT ROAMING When an existing wireless network coverage area exceeds the range of a single access point, additional access points must be deployed. The process of switching from an access point with decreasing signal strength to one with a better signal while staying on the same network is called Roaming. Roaming allows a client to stay connected to the network and maintain communication when moving beyond the range of the currently connected access point into the range of another broadcasting the same network.

5.3.3.10. RETRIES RATE HEATMAP In an ideal Wi-Fi communication, all sent data packets reach their destination. Otherwise, poor transmission, interferences or any other communication problems can cause the dropped packets to be retransmitted for a correct data transmission. The larger the number of retransmitted or forwarded packets, the larger the communication latency will be, resulting in a lower communication quality. The following image shows the areas where packet loss is experienced within Umanizales network, based on packet retry rate.

5.3.3.12. LATENCY Latency indicates the time delay experienced in the data transfer through Umanizales network for each area within the network site range. When a data packet is sent, it is received by a receiving device that notifies the transmitting device that the packet has been successfully received. Latency is the period from the time a data packet is sent to the time the packet reception confirmation is received. Latency is measured in milliseconds (ms). The higher the latency, the lowest the network performance will be. High latency values negatively impact real-time application performance, such as video-conferencing and VoIP communications.

5.3.3.13. PACKET LOSS In an ideal data communication, all sent data packets reach their destination; otherwise there is a packet loss that negatively impacts the data transmission performance, hence the overall network performance. When a data packet is lost, if required by the protocol, it should be re-transmitted until a successful reception notification is received. This increases the amount of time necessary for a data unit to be transmitted, reducing the amount of data that can be transmitted per unit of time. The higher this value is, the lower the network performance will be. The following image shows the areas where data packet loss is experienced within Umanizales network site range.

5.3.3.14. ROAMING Data roaming in a Wi-Fi network infrastructure is the ability of a client device to move around within a multiple access point network's coverage area without disconnections. To ensure roaming in a multiple access point Wi-Fi network, access points' coverage ranges should overlap. Accordingly, a moving client device will have continuous network coverage, and based on the device's internal settings and access point configuration, network access will be granted through the different access points across the coverage area. The following image shows all Umanizales network access points to which the device has been connected to while itinerating. The graph can't be generated due to the absence of active survey data in the current location. Please ensure that active survey configuration is correctly set and active during the scan.
