Abstract
Overall network throughput may be increased in a wireless network through a common network-wide clear channel assessment (CCA) threshold. Each access point performs measurements, and determines suitable CCA thresholds and throughput estimates for each data rate. Results are reported to a central controller that determines the network-wide CCA threshold. The network-wide CCA threshold is then used by all access points and mobile stations.
