Zusammenfassung:Previously available network monitoring and management systems fail to provide adequate transmit power control in WiFi networks having multiple neighboring wireless access points. By contrast, various implementations disclosed herein include systems, methods and apparatuses that generate an interference map based at least on co-channel interference reported in a number of neighbor lists, wherein each of the neighbor lists is associated with a respective one of a plurality of compliant wireless access points included in one of a local area network (LAN) and a portion of a virtual LAN (VLAN); and determine a respective transmit power adjustment for each of the plurality of compliant wireless access points included in the interference map based on at least one interference criterion characterizing the interference on each of the plurality of compliant wireless access points included in the interference map and respective neighboring wireless access points.
