1. One or more tangible computer readable media encoded with software, the software comprising computer-readable instructions operable, when executed, to cause one or more processors to:
- compute an interference severity level for a plurality of interference sources detected at an access point;
aggregate one or more of the computed interference severity levels relative to the access point; and
compute an air quality metric for the access point, wherein the air quality metric is based at least in part on an equation 1 minus aggregated interference severity level.

Abstract
A system for measuring air quality in wireless networks. In particular implementations, a method includes computing an interference severity level for a plurality of interference sources detected at an access point; aggregating one or more of the computed interference severity levels relative to the access point; and computing an air quality metric for the access point, wherein the air quality metric based at least in part on an equation: 1—aggregated interference severity level.
