Abstract
To reduce wireless interference (noise) in a network environment, a management resource communicates a notification to multiple wireless access points. The notification indicates a wireless power transmit test to be performed with respect to the primary wireless access point in a vicinity of the multiple wireless access points. In accordance with the wireless power transmit test, the primary wireless access point transmits multiple test communications at different wireless power levels from the primary wireless access point to the multiple wireless access points. The multiple wireless access points generate feedback based on their ability to receive the test communications. The feedback indicates wireless power levels at which the multiple wireless access points receive the test communications at different power levels from the primary wireless access point. Based on feedback, a controller adjusts its transmit power level of the primary wireless access point to reduce its interference with other wireless access points.
