Abstract: Methods and systems for configuring an access point (AP) are provided. According to one embodiment, a wireless network architecture includes multiple dual concurrent wireless access points, each including dual radios and dual antennas. The dual radios are configured to operate in a same frequency band and include multiple channels within the frequency band. The dual radios in each of the dual concurrent wireless access points are configured with different channels. The dual concurrent wireless access points are configured in a cell pattern, configured to use all of the channels within the frequency band.

Abstract: Methods and systems for configuring an access point (AP) are provided. According to one embodiment, a dual radio AP includes: two radios, a first operating at 2.4 GigaHertz (GHz) or 5 GHz and a second operating at 5 GHz; first and second directional antennas coupled to the first and second radios, respectively; first and second transmit queues buffering packets for transmission by the first and second radios, respectively; a location determination module configured to compute locations of recipient devices of the packets; a direction identification module configured to calculate angles to direct the directional antennas based on the computed locations; an interference detection module configured to determine whether interference would take place if the packets are transmitted based on the calculated angles and estimated timing of transmission; and a transmission module configured to transmit the packets without interference between the directional antennas by rescheduling packets if necessary.
