Abstract
A wireless network device may include a receiver having an active energy detection threshold and a processor to control the active energy detection threshold. The processor may determine preferred energy detection thresholds for the receiver for corresponding communication channels to which the receiver is tunable, and may select one of the preferred energy detection thresholds as an active energy detection threshold of the receiver for communication on a corresponding one of the communication channels. While the wireless network device is associated with another wireless network device of a wireless network over a communication channel, the processor may adjust the energy detection threshold of the receiver to changing conditions of the wireless network.
