Abstract : Radio signal strength measurement systems are essential to build a Radio Frequency (RF) mapping in indoor and outdoor environments for dierent application scenarios. This paper presents an autonomous robot making the construction of a radio signal mapping, by collecting and forwarding dierent useful information related to all access point devices and inherent to the robot towards the base station. A real case scenario is considered by measuring the RF eld from our department network. The RF signal mapping consistency is shown by tting the measurements with the radio signal strength model in two-dimensional area, and a path-loss exponent of 2.3 is estimated for the open corridor environment.

Keywords : Radio Frequency (RF) mapping Wireless network RF coverage Autonomous mobile robot
