2.5 Guidelines for Placement of BU-DS.11 Units
Each Wireless Base Station in the network forms the center of a cell, or BSS. The placement of
BU-DS.11 units should be such that cells overlap slightly, to guarantee seamless wireless
connectivity everywhere. Neighboring BU-DS.11 units should preferably send and receive on
different channels for maximum throughput.
Creating a cell plan for your site can be complicated, and is usually done by experts equipped with
special measuring equipment.
Furthermore, the radio channels you may use depend on both the capabilities of the PC-cards you
are deploying, as well as the regulations in your area. Table 2-1 provides specifications for the main
regulatory domains:
