Our team has recently been having discussions about co-channel interference and channel utilization to better understand the issues we are having in our dorms. We know we have a design issue, but we are trying to quantify the problem. In Cisco's "Enterprise Best Practices for Apple Mobile Devices on Cisco Wireless LANs", they state that "Using the Aloha protocol definition of channel utilization, a wireless packet network reached capacity when the utilization reaches 34%."
What utilization parameters do you use to identify poor performance on a channel? In other words, at what percentage do you say "that's a problem"?
