Abstract
Techniques are described for wireless communication at a wireless communication device. One method includes obtaining a plurality of signal strength samples for a first wireless channel during a measurement period; determining a loading parameter of the first wireless channel based at least in part on a distribution of the signal strength samples for the first wireless channel among a set of predefined signal strength bins; and selecting a wireless operating channel based at least in part on the determined loading parameter of the first wireless channel.
