  • Publication number: 20170006479
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure are directed toward intelligently selecting the operating parameters of wireless access points (WAPs) deployed in a wireless environment so as to minimize or at least reduce interference in that wireless environment. A WAP may continually measure characteristics of wireless channels used in the wireless environment and obtain measurements of channel metrics for those channels. The WAP analyzes the channel metric history to identify correlations between the channel metric measurements and various timeframes and selects one or more of its operating parameters based on the channel metric history and the correlations identified.
