Abstract

With the explosive growth in the density of 802.11 access points (APs) in the form of hotspots and public/home access networks, coordinating the shared use of spectrum has become an important problem. The irregular coverage topologies present in WLANs due to the vagaries of the indoor RF environment make the channel assignment algorithms in cellular networks inapplicable [1, 2].
