Abstract
The present disclosure describes a network and a method of operating the network. The method includes determining that a portion of a first channel of a first access point overlaps a portion of a second channel of a second access point and in response to determining that the portion of the first channel overlaps the portion of the second channel, adjusting the first access point so that the first access point refrains from transmitting using frequencies in the portion of the first channel that the second access point uses to transmit pilot tones in the portion of the second channel.
