Abstract
A method may include allocating channels of a wireless local area network (WLAN) including a plurality of access points to the plurality of access points based on a load of each access point. The load of each access point may include a user load and/or an interference load. The user load may be generated by each user of the access point. The interference load may be based on interference caused by transmissions between the remainder of the plurality of access points and users of the remainder of the plurality of access points.
Claims18
A method comprising:
- allocating channels of a wireless local area network (WLAN) including a plurality of access points to the plurality of access points based on a load of each access point, the load of each access point including a user load based on each user of the access point and an interference load based on interference caused by transmissions between the remainder of the plurality of access points and users of the remainder of the plurality of access points.
A wireless local area network (WLAN), comprising:
- a plurality of channels allocated to a plurality of access points, the plurality of channels allocated to the plurality of access points based on a load of each access point, the load of each access point including a user load based on each user of the access point and an interference load based on interference caused by transmissions of the remainder of the plurality of access points and users of the remainder of the plurality of access points.
A method comprising:
- providing a wireless local area network (WLAN) including a plurality of access points, the WLAN configured to allocate channels to the plurality of access points based on a load of each access point, the load of each access point including a user load based on each user of the access point and an interference load based on interference caused by transmissions between the remainder of the plurality of access points and users of the remainder of the plurality of access points.
A method comprising:
- ensuring a level of service above a threshold level to each user of a wireless local area network (WLAN) including a plurality of access points while maximizing a throughput of the WLAN.
