Abstract

See full text

Embodiments of the present invention provide techniques for power management in a network environment. A wireless networking system can include various access points in different areas of a deployment environment. Each access point may include a power manager which determines a transmission power for the access point to minimize interference with neighboring access points. The power manager can determine zones associated with each access point based on the signal strength of devices within those zones and assign each zone to a separate channel. When a request is received from a client device to access the wireless network, the client device can be assigned to a channel based on connection information associated with the client device, such as signal strength or error rate. The connection information of each client device can be monitored periodically and the client devices can be reassigned to different channels based on changes to the connection information.
