The physical locations of clients and access points in a wireless LAN may have a large impact on network performance. However, nowadays WLAN management tools do not provide information about the location of clients apart from which access point they associate with. This paper describes a scalable and easy-to-deploy WLAN management system that includes a self-configuring location estimation engine. The system has been in operation on one floor of the building for several months. Using the system to observe WLAN usage in the building, it shows that information about client locations is crucial for understanding WLAN performance. Although WLAN location systems are a widely studied topic, the novel aspects of the location system primarily relate to ease of deployment.
