4.3 More about Cells
Each Access Point in the network forms the center of a cell, or BSS. The Cells
should overlap slightly to guarantee seamless wireless connectivity everywhere.
Neighboring Access Points should preferably send and receive on different
channels for maximum throughput.
Creating a cell plan for your site can be complicated, and is usually done by experts
employing special measuring equipment.
Furthermore, the radio channels you may use depend on both the capabilities of the
PC-Cards you are deploying, as well as the regulations in your area.
