20100167776 | AVOIDING DISTURBANCE OF RESTRICTED LOCAL ACCESS POINTS IN A WIRELESS NETWORK - A method of determining output power in a first restricted local access point in a wireless network, a device implementing a restricted local access point, a wireless network as well as a computer program product for determining output power in a restricted local access point. A restricted local access point scans the network for determining broadcasting channels used by surrounding access points, selects a broadcasting channel that receives the lowest disturbance by surrounding access points, varies the output power of this channel for obtaining a desired relation to the disturbance and determines if a main disturbing access point is another restricted local access point. If it is, a threshold is set for one of the quantities of the relation, which the quantity is not allowed to pass, the output power is varied for providing the desired relation without said quantity passing said threshold and otherwise another channel is selected. | 07-01-2010 |
