Channel Re-Use
Figure 4-2 shows the typical channel re-use for 802.11b and 802.11g WLANs. The two gold channel 1
cells are -86 dBm apart from center to center. The same separation should be maintained between floors
of a multi-floor site.
Figure 4-2 802.11b/802.11g Channel Reuse Diagram
You can use the two Aironet client tools and the survey tool in the 7920 to measure cell separation. The
ACU for the PCM350 client has an active survey mode. Cisco recommends an active survey where there
are transmitted and received packets of the same size as a voice packet.
