A method comprising: determining , by a network device, a weight for each neighboring access point of a plurality of neighboring access points in a radio frequency neighborhood of a particular access point based on at least a channel frequency and a basic service set color of the plurality of neighboring access points in the radio frequency neighborhood of the particular access point; calculating , by the network device, a first path loss from the plurality of neighboring access points based on the weights of one or more neighboring access points of the plurality of neighboring access points; calculating , by the network device, a second path loss from the plurality of neighboring access points; calculating , by the network device, a first effective isotopic radiated power based on the first path loss; calculating , by the network device, a second effective isotopic radiated power based on the second path loss; and adjusting , by the network device, the effective isotopic radiated power associated with the particular access point based on the lesser of the first effective isotopic radiated power and the second effective isotopic radiated power, wherein the first path loss is based on a number of first neighbor access points, the first path loss being equal to a sum of the weight assigned to each of the first neighbor access points times the path loss from the corresponding first neighbor access point to the particular access point and divided by the sum of the weight assigned to each of the first neighbor access points, and wherein the second path loss is based on a number of second neighbor access points, the second path loss being equal to a sum of the path loss from each second neighbor access point to the particular access point and divided by the number of second neighbor access points. determining , by a network device, a weight for each neighboring access point of a plurality of neighboring access points in a radio frequency neighborhood of a particular access point based on at least a channel frequency and a basic service set color of the plurality of neighboring access points in the radio frequency neighborhood of the particular access point; calculating , by the network device, a first path loss from the plurality of neighboring access points based on the weights of one or more neighboring access points of the plurality of neighboring access points; calculating , by the network device, a second path loss from the plurality of neighboring access points; calculating , by the network device, a first effective isotopic radiated power based on the first path loss; calculating , by the network device, a second effective isotopic radiated power based on the second path loss; and adjusting , by the network device, the effective isotopic radiated power associated with the particular access point based on the lesser of the first effective isotopic radiated power and the second effective isotopic radiated power, wherein the first path loss is based on a number of first neighbor access points, the first path loss being equal to a sum of the weight assigned to each of the first neighbor access points times the path loss from the corresponding first neighbor access point to the particular access point and divided by the sum of the weight assigned to each of the first neighbor access points, and wherein the second path loss is based on a number of second neighbor access points, the second path loss being equal to a sum of the path loss from each second neighbor access point to the particular access point and divided by the number of second neighbor access points. <EOS>
