Abstract
In some embodiments, a system and method is disclosed for, among other things, reducing interference in a first wireless network from a second wireless network. In some embodiments, the method includes that an Interfered AP, which Interfered AP either itself receives interference or has a station in the Interfered AP'"'"'s network that receives interference from an Interfering AP or from a station within the Interfering AP'"'"'s network, selects how to reduce interference from a plurality of interference reduction methods—e.g., including transmit power control (TPC), channel switching (CS) and/or the like.

18. A method for reducing interference in a first wireless local area network from a second wireless local area network, comprising:
-
a) at an Interfered AP, which AP itself receives interference or has a station in the Interfered AP'"'"'s network that receives interference from an Interfering AP or from a station within the Interfering AP'"'"'s network, selecting a reduction method from a plurality of interference reduction methods, wherein one of said interference reduction methods is transmit power control of the Interfering AP and/or of a station within the Interfering AP'"'"'s network; b) transmitting a request from the Interfered AP to have the Interfering AP perform transmit power control in the case that the Interfered AP selects transmit power control. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
