A method of determining output power in a first restricted local access point in a wireless network, a device implementing a restricted local access point, a wireless network as well as a computer program product for determining output power in a restricted local access point. A restricted local access point scans the network for determining broadcasting channels used by surrounding access points, selects a broadcasting channel that receives the lowest disturbance by surrounding access points, varies the output power of this channel for obtaining a desired relation to the disturbance and determines if a main disturbing access point is another restricted local access point. If it is, a threshold is set for one of the quantities of the relation, which the quantity is not allowed to pass, the output power is varied for providing the desired relation without said quantity passing said threshold and otherwise another channel is selected.
Method of determining output power for communication with mobile stations in a first restricted local access point in a wireless network, comprising the steps of:
Device implementing a restricted local access point for provision in a wireless network and being arranged to scan the network for determining broadcasting channels used by surrounding wireless access points in the network, select a broadcasting channel that receives the lowest disturbance by surrounding access points, vary the output power of the selected broadcasting channel in order to provide a desired relation to the disturbance, determine if a main disturbing access point is another restricted local access point, and in case it is, set a threshold for one of the quantities of the relation, which the quantity in question is not allowed to pass, vary the output power for providing the desired relation without said quantity passing said threshold, and select another channel if the desired relation cannot be obtained without the quantity passing the threshold.
Wireless network comprising:
Computer program product for determining output power for communication with mobile stations in a restricted local access point in a wireless network, comprising computer program code to make a device implementing such a restricted local access point perform, when the code is loaded into said device:
