Abstract
Aspects of the disclosed technology address the problems of calculating and performing channel assignments for access points (APs) in a wireless network. In some aspects, a process for performing channel assignment can include steps for identifying multiple APs in a network, each of the wireless APs being associated with an initial channel assignment, selecting an AP from among the wireless APs in the network, determining a channel quality for the initial channel assignment associated with the AP, and selecting a new channel for the AP based on the channel quality. In some aspects, the process further includes steps for selecting a second AP, determining a channel quality for the initial channel assignment associated with the second AP, and selecting a new channel for the second AP based on the channel quality. Systems and machine-readable media are also provided.
