Abstract

A network of access points may be provided. Access points operating in a low power indoor (LPI) mode and access points operating in a standard power (SP or SPI) mode are identified. The access points operating in an SP or SPI mode are sorted by available frequencies and maximum power budget. For each access point in the network, a composite radio frequency (RF) density score is determined, wherein higher density scores correspond to a denser population of access points in the network. If the composite RF density score is above a determined level, the access point that supports frequencies below a threshold level and that have an effective isotropic radiated power (EiRP) above a determined level are determined as a seed candidate. At least one of the seed candidates is determined as a seed access point.
