We installed our APs in the hallways, and found that the APs were seeing such a
strong signal from each other that the Cisco controller would power down the
signal strength for the APs. This was causing a impact on coverage in the
rooms along the hallway.
Cisco's docs say not to use transmission power control in a corridor
style deployment. It's a footnote found in the bottom of a locked
filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door
saying "Beware of The Leopard."
I had to turn TPC off on the APs in the corridor style res halls to get
any sort of reasonable service out of the APs.
