Non-intrusive, dynamic interference detection for 802.11 networks
Kan Cai, Michael Blackstock, Michael J. Feeley, Charles Krasic · 2009
In densely packed 802.11 environments, access-point domains significantly overlap and wireless hosts interfere with each other in complex ways. Knowing which devices interfere is an essential first step to minimizing this interference, improving efficiency and delivering quality connectivity throughout the network. This knowledge, however, is extremely difficult to obtain without either taking a running network offline for measurements or having client hosts monitor and report airspace anomalies, something typically outside the control of network administrators.
