Abstract

A method for assigning channels in a wireless network includes receiving from each of a plurality of a first type of wireless components a total average data rate. Each total average data rate is based on an average data rate for each of a first plurality of a second type of wireless components coupled to the respective first type of wireless component. The method also includes determining at least one channel parameter for a first wireless component of the plurality of the first type of wireless components based on a ratio of the total average data rate associated with the respective first wireless component to the total average data rate associated with the plurality of the first type of wireless components. The method further includes allocating a channel to the first wireless component based on the determined at least one channel parameter.
