Abstract: Certain example embodiments relate to a method for selecting wireless ridelity (Wi-Fi) channel for mitigating and/or reducing interference, wherein the method may detect the presence of nearby access points and determine the number of access points by an access point detector module. The method may determine the minimum value of received signal strength indicator (RSSI) by the access point detector module, and may determine the congestion information from the nearby devices by a peer congestion observer module. Furthermore, the method may calculate at least one weighted parameter and select a preferred channel to create a hotspot for communication by a channel selector module.
