RX signal level calculation

[Location Proj]

And my approch is statistical analysis of signal strengths so i dont need
inganl to be proprotional to distance, just differant (and fairly
predictable) at each point.  It can cope with the non-linear nature of
802.11 singnal strengths quite well.

:)

11b gives good results and from what i know of 11g and OFDM it will
provide even better results (hopefully ;)  )
