Abstract
This disclosure relates to a method for primary channel selection by a first access point type communication device (AP) of a group of APs, the method comprising: detecting, by the first AP, a central frequency location and a bandwidth of a primary channel selected by at least one second AP of the group of APs; selecting, by the first AP, a central frequency location and a bandwidth of a primary channel for the first AP, wherein the selection of the central frequency location and bandwidth of the primary channel for the first AP is based on the detected central frequency location and bandwidth of the primary channel for the at least one second AP.

A method for primary channel selection by a first access point type communication device (AP) of a group of APs, the method comprising:
- detecting, by the first AP, a central frequency location and a bandwidth of a primary channel selected by at least one second AP of the group of APs, the primary channel being from among a plurality of frequency-adjacent channels;
- selecting, by the first AP, a central frequency location and a bandwidth of a primary channel for the first AP based on the detected central frequency location and bandwidth of the primary channel for the at least one second AP,
- wherein the primary channel selected for the first AP is the farthest channel from among the plurality of frequency-adjacent channels in terms of frequency from the primary channel selected by the at least one second AP.
