A county clinic AP on a partially overlapping adjacent channel and wide channel width causes retries and slow transfers for a neighboring city office BSS. What performance problem fits best?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Overlapping adjacent channels are like two radio DJs bleeding into each other's stations. It is not the same-channel line-up; it is messy partial overlap—ACI. Narrow or separate the widths so the neighbors stop stepping on each other.
Full Explanation
Adjacent-channel interference arises when nearby APs use channels or channel widths that partially overlap rather than fully sharing one clean channel. Energy from the adjacent BSS raises the noise/contention experience and increases retries. This differs from CCI, where BSSs share an identical channel. Identifying ACI guides corrective channel/width changes per design and maps to Domain 5.2.
