摘要：
A method and apparatus for autonomously determining a coverage area of each of a plurality of access points (APs) in a wireless communication system are disclosed. Each of a plurality of APs transmits loud packets to, and receives loud packets from, other APs. Each AP measures received powers of the loud packets received from the other APs. Each AP estimates path losses from the other APs using the measured received powers and calculates the range of the AP from the estimated path losses from the other APs.
