  • a processor;

    a memory containing a program that, when executed on the processor, performs an operation, the operation comprising;

    for each of a plurality of access points, calculating a respective density value based on a number of respective neighboring access points that are in direct communication with the access point and based on a path loss between the access point and at least one of the respective neighboring access points;

    selecting an access point from the plurality of access points based on the respective densities values;

    calculating locations of the respective neighboring access points relative to the selected access point;

    determining that a radio in the selected access point is redundant based on the calculated locations; and
