Abstract:
1. A method of channel selection algorithm comprising: discovering by a first access point (AP) of existing operating frequency channels to include primary channels and secondary channels of other APs; providing a new operating frequency channel to the first AP to avoid overlapping with the existing operating frequency channels of the other APs, wherein when the overlapping between the new operating frequency channel and the existing operating frequency channels is not possible, then the primary channel of the new operating frequency channel is selected to overlap with a secondary 80 MHz of the other APs, wherein when the overlapping with the secondary 80 MHz of the other APs is not possible, then the primary channel of the new operating frequency channel is configured to overlap with secondary 40 MHz or secondary 80 MHz of the other APs, wherein when the overlapping with the secondary 40 MHz or the secondary 80 MHz of the other APs is not possible, then the primary channel of the new operating frequency channel is configured to overlap with the secondary channels of the other APs, wherein when the overlapping with the secondary channels of the other APs is not possible, then the second operating frequency channel is configured to overlap with the primary channel of the other APs; and utilizing the new operating frequency channel by the first AP.
