AUTOMATED AND ADAPTIVE CHANNEL SELECTION ALGORITHM BASED ON LEAST NOISE AND LEAST DENSITY OF WIRELESS SENSORS NETWORK IN NEIGHBORHOOD

摘要

An apparatus and method including a control panel of an automation system that protects a secured geographic area actively scanning each of a plurality of radio frequency channels of a predetermined radio frequency spectrum for other access points operating under an IEEE802.15.4 format, the control panel identifying at least two of the plurality of channels with a lowest relative number of the other access points operating under the IEEE802.15.4 format, the control panel performing an energy scan on each of the identified at least two channels, the control panel selecting one of the at least two channels with a lowest relative energy and the control panel setting up a wireless connection with each of a plurality of wireless sensors within the secured area on the selected channel under the IEEE802.15.4 format.
