Claim 10:
11. A method of selecting a channel frequency and bandwidth for a network comprising an access point and a plurality of stations, the method comprising:
receiving, from a spectrum analyzer at each of the stations, a description of power in a plurality of frequencies at one or more times to determine a weighted ambient noise floor for each frequency in the plurality of frequencies, wherein the weighted ambient noise floor is based on a ratio of a receive usage for each frequency to a sum of the receive usages for the plurality of frequencies;
determining an achievable data rate for each of a plurality of channels;
determining a goodness value of each of channel of the plurality of channels based, at least in part, on the ambient noise floor for a subset of the plurality of frequencies within each channel and the determined achievable data rate of each channel; and
presenting a list of the plurality of channels ranked by the determined goodness value.
