> A couple of general questions about 802.11 at IETF in Japan I think problems are not specific in Japan but may be specific in IETF. There are only 3 non-overlapping channel (e.g. 1-6-11) in 802.11b. Actually there is another channel (14) which almost non-overlapping to channel 11. We enabled the channel for plenary. Most of the problems are due to the density of station. Sometimes there are 300+ terminals in one room. Once an access point reboot due to overload, the access point should expecte 100+ simultenous association request after boot up. If the access point cannot handle such request and reboot again, that is the problem. We have also tried micro-cell to reduce stations associating single access point, but it is worse because of flooding of hand-over. We should expect AP vender to update their software to handle IETF meeting and other such congested wireless terminal environment, if any... Atsushi Onoe, NOC
