Abstract
In one embodiment, a method implemented on a computing device includes: selecting a wireless access point (AP) to process from among a deployment of wireless access points (APs), defining a neighborhood based on the AP and neighboring APs, where the neighboring APs are within a one-hop radius of the AP, calculating a client distribution optimal received signal strength indicator (RSSI), where the client distribution optimal RSSI (CD optimal) is a minimum receiver start of packet detection threshold (RX-SOP) setting for maintaining existing client device coverage by the AP, calculating a neighbor relations optimal RSSI threshold (NR optimal), where the NR optimal is a function of at least a transmit power control threshold (TPC) for maintaining visibility between the AP and the neighboring APs, calculating an RX-SOP setting for the AP as a function of CD optimal and NR optimal, and applying the RX-SOP setting to the AP.
