Abstract

Channel assignment for access points (APs) in a wireless network includes determining a bottleneck client in an interference relationship, and determining a channel assignment for the APs that maximizes a normalized throughput of the bottleneck client. The normalized throughput is assigned to the bottleneck client, and the bottleneck client is assigned to a fixed set.
