Channel bandwidth selection

A method for a network device for selecting a channel bandwidth, comprising:

• identifying, in view of a plurality of pathloss measurements received from a plurality of access points (APs), a plurality of networks that are connected;
• partitioning the plurality of networks into a plurality (P) of local radio environments;
• identifying, for the P local radio environments, an available channel bandwidth set comprising a plurality of channel bandwidth values;
• determining whether the plurality of channel bandwidth values provide a frequency reuse distance that is greater than a threshold frequency reuse distance, wherein the frequency reuse distance is estimated based at least on the pathloss measurement;
• and
• based on a determination that at least one of the plurality of channel bandwidth values provides the frequency reuse distance that is greater than the threshold frequency reuse distance, selecting a channel bandwidth value from the at least one of the plurality of channel bandwidth values.

A non-transitory machine-readable medium storing instructions executable by a processing resource to:

• receive a plurality of pathloss measurements from a plurality of access points (APs);
• in view of the pathloss measurements, identify a plurality of networks;
• partition the plurality of networks into a plurality (P) of local radio environments;
• identify, for the P local radio environments, a plurality of basic service set (BSS) colors;
• determine whether the plurality of BSS colors provide a frequency/BSS color reuse distance that is greater than a threshold frequency/BSS color reuse distance, wherein the frequency/BSS color reuse distance is estimated based at least on the plurality of BSS colors;
• and
• based on a determination that at least one of the plurality of BSS colors provides the frequency/BSS color reuse distance that is greater than the threshold frequency/BSS color reuse distance, configure a channel plan for the at least one of the plurality of networks with a channel bandwidth value selected based on the frequency/BSS reuse distance.
