IEEE 802.11 wireless networks design process is impossible without a correct choice of a channel plan, i.e. a set of channels of a given type. This is especially important because channel planning of a distributed network heavily depends on the network designer’s and administrator’s decisions. Additionally, the central frequencies of the channels provided by the standard do not mean that the channels are non-overlapping. However, considering the coverage of a flat area as a plane tessellation by coverage areas of access points, for a particular regular structure geometry, it is necessary to choose the best channel planning solution among the possible ones. To do this, it is required to consider practically applicable channel planning cases, which use different numbers of channels, as a plane tessellation problem, also taking into account the overlapping of their spectral masks. This paper considers channel planning of IEEE 802.11 networks as a plane tessellation with regular structures and proposes a model that takes into account the effects of adjacent-channel interference, provides evaluation criteria, and thus is applicable to select the best channel configuration for the corresponding regular structure.
