Interference Management in IEEE 802.11 Frequency Assignment

In this article we address the frequency management during WLAN planning. Frequency management refers to channels interference and SINR computation. We propose a new approach where location selection and frequency assignment are tackled together during WLAN planning process. Two steps characterize this approach. Firstly we use all the available channels for frequency assignment. Secondly multiple signals are taken into account to compute the SINR. Several experimental results show the benefits of this new approach.
