In a Student Dormitory Building with Indoor Distributed APs Deployed, Internet Users Encounter Video Pauses or Slow Network Access Rates in Peak Hours. Why?
The reason is that the network traffic volume has exceeded the APs' capacities. In most student dormitory buildings, each floor has three or four APs deployed to avoid co-channel interference. Each AP may provide signal coverage for 36 students in six rooms. In peak hours, there may be 20 to 30 students simultaneously surfing on the Internet in an AP's coverage area. As a result, the required bandwidth exceeds the AP's capacity. Therefore, in scenarios with a high user density and a high traffic volume, such as student dormitory buildings, central APs + RUs or wall plate APs are recommended to avoid co-channel interference and meet high traffic requirements.
