First Claim
1. A method for controlling a wireless network, which includes a controller and a plurality of network elements, the method comprising:
- determining interference in the wireless network using radio-link measurements;
generating an interference matrix identifying the interference in the wireless network;
generating an adjacency matrix based on the interference matrix identifying locations having unacceptable levels of interference in the wireless network; and
allocating channels and corresponding transmission powers in the wireless network to reduce the unacceptable levels of interference;
wherein the method is performed at predetermined fixed time intervals and when a new network element is added to the wireless network.
