Abstract
According to one embodiment of the invention, a method for managing channels in a wireless network includes retrieving device parameters from a wireless network device communicating on a channel in the wireless network. The device parameters include a parameter indicative of a location of the wireless network device and a parameter indicative of the channel of the wireless network device. The channel is associated with a data transmission frequency. The method also includes generating a list of available channels for the wireless network device by determining a channel pattern in the wireless network. The method further includes specifying the channel on which the wireless network device should communicate based on the generated list of available channels to reduce channel interference to the wireless network device.
