Abstract: The present technology is directed to visualizing a Wi-Fi access point radio frequency (RF) propagation pattern based on telemetry data over time. The present technology can receive telemetry data for a Wi-Fi network of a building plan in a Wi-Fi visualization system, store the telemetry data with a timestamp, determine a RF propagation pattern in a 3-D space for at least one Wi-Fi access point in the Wi-Fi network, present a user interface including a time slider to facilitate manipulation of a time axis between the first timestamp and the second timestamp, and present a visualization of the RF propagation pattern based on an indication of the time slider.

Abstract: The present technology is directed to visualizing a Wi-Fi signal propagation in 3-D at various heights and locations. The present technology can calculate a radio frequency (RF) propagation pattern for a Wi-Fi access point (AP) based on a RF propagation model for the Wi-Fi AP and overlay the RF propagation pattern for the Wi-Fi AP over a visualization of the building plan to present a 3-D visualization of the RF propagation pattern of the 3-D space. In particular, the present technology can project a plurality of ray-paths in various directions in a 3-D space originated from the Wi-Fi AP and determine whether the ray-paths interface with objects defined in the building plan. The present technology can segment the respective ray-path into contiguous segments of substantially uniform mediums for each ray-path that interface with the objects and determine a RF signal strength at points along the contiguous segments of the ray-paths.
