    Abstract: According to one configuration, a first wireless access point communicates probe request communications to a mobile communication device. The first wireless access point monitors power levels associated with probe response communications from the mobile communication device. Via the monitored power levels, the communication management resource quantifies motion of the mobile communication device with respect to the first wireless access point and a corresponding region of wireless coverage provided by the first wireless access point. The communication management resource selects amongst multiple neighboring wireless access points in which to handoff the mobile communication device based on a prediction of which of the multiple wireless access points will provide a best chance of successfully receiving a handoff of a mobile communication device and corresponding wireless communication link from the first wireless access point.

    Abstract: According to one configuration, an analyzer resource determines an ability of a wireless access point to wirelessly communicate over each of multiple available wireless communication channels in a wireless frequency band. The analyzer resource produces performance information (performance metrics or calibration information) based on the measured ability. The analyzer resource assigns the performance metrics to the wireless access point. When operating in the field (such as in a wireless network environment), to provide mobile communication devices access to a remote network, the wireless access point uses the assigned performance metrics as a basis to select amongst multiple available wireless communication channels to communicate with one or more mobile communication devices in the wireless network environment. These and other techniques are disclosed herein.

    Abstract: To reduce wireless interference (noise) in a network environment, a management resource communicates a notification to multiple wireless access points. The notification indicates a wireless power transmit test to be performed with respect to the primary wireless access point in a vicinity of the multiple wireless access points. In accordance with the wireless power transmit test, the primary wireless access point transmits multiple test communications at different wireless power levels from the primary wireless access point to the multiple wireless access points. The multiple wireless access points generate feedback based on their ability to receive the test communications. The feedback indicates wireless power levels at which the multiple wireless access points receive the test communications at different power levels from the primary wireless access point. Based on feedback, a controller adjusts its transmit power level of the primary wireless access point to reduce its interference with other wireless access points.
