Program for adjusting channel interference between access points in a wireless network
First Claim
1. A program product for an access point capable of communicating in a wireless communications network via a radio frequency channel, the program product comprising a computer readable medium having embodied therein a computer program for storing data, the computer program comprising:
- logic for detecting that one or more other access points are also using the radio frequency channel;
logic responsive to the logic for detecting for adjusting transmit power.

Abstract
The performance and ease of management of wireless communications environments is improved by a mechanism that enables access points (APs) to perform automatic channel selection. A wireless network can therefore include multiple APs, each of which will automatically choose a channel such that channel usage is optimized. Furthermore, APs can perform automatic power adjustment so that multiple APs can operate on the same channel while minimizing interference with each other. Wireless stations are load balanced across APs so that user bandwidth is optimized. A movement detection scheme provides seamless roaming of stations between APs.
