Interference avoidance for high density ad hoc networks

An Information Handling System (IHS) comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a memory coupled to the at least one processor, the memory having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by the at least one processor, cause the IHS to:
• implement interference avoidance in a high density ad hoc network, comprising:
• joining an ad hoc Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) cluster of IHSs with nonoverlapping channels, isolated from other nearby ad hoc LAN clusters by a Basic Secure Set (BSS) color field to associating IHSs within the ad hoc WLAN cluster;
• optimizing physical separation of the ad hoc WLAN clusters, minimizing cochannel interference by using dynamic threshold calculations;
• and
• isolating nearby ad hoc WLAN clusters, dynamically adjusting transmit power control.

A non-transitory computer readable medium having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by one or more Information Handling Systems (IHSs), cause the one or more IHSs to:

• create ad hoc Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) clusters of IHSs with nonoverlapping channels;
• enable each IHS to have a high bandwidth wireless interface;
• isolate nearby ad hoc WLAN clusters, using a Basic Secure Set (BSS) color field to associate IHSs within an ad hoc WLAN cluster;
• optimize physical separation of ad hoc WLAN clusters, minimizing cochannel interference;
• and
• isolate nearby ad hoc WLAN clusters by dynamically adjusting transmit power control.
