Abstract

A method for assigning channels for access points (16) for a network providing wireless communications coverage for an environment, including assigning a weight indicative of overlapping coverage for each pair of access points having overlapping coverage (60), and assigning a channel to each of the access points based on certain sums of the weights to minimize coverage overlap between access points operating at the same channel (72).
