The ubiquity of WLAN networks bears inherently a risk of generating considerable interference level. Measurements have been obtained to demonstrate that densely, though randomly deployed Access Points cannot operate at maximum bit rates due to mutual interference. A simple non-collaborating algorithm has been proposed and verified under carefully controlled measurement conditions providing a proof that RSSI indicators can provide a sufficient metric for correct decisions made per AP to keep their transmit power at the minimum yet sufficient and user-transparent value.
