To ALL:
We have done a couple things to cover lecture halls. The biggest
is small beam width directional antennas. The better you can carve up
the airsppace, the better you are. The other trick is RF-groups to play
with min/max tx power. I do not like manually setting anything but you
do need to control min and max tx power in lecture halls. Creating a
rf-group for those spaces is perfect. We do load balancing and band
select everywhere and I recommend both. I have not played with rx-sop
yet so have no comment.

Hello everyone,
I am working on improving wireless performance in high density areas
(lecture theaters, auditoriums etc) and doing research on some
features. I would like to know if you people have made below changes
and how was your experience with it ? We're using cisco gear (3702i/e
APs, WiSM2 controllers, Prime 3.0).
1-set channel and power manually (not use RRM) : reduce power to limit
coverage and disable 2.4GHz radios on every 3rd/4th AP.
2-load-balancing
3-band-select
4-RX-SOP (already deployed and happy with it, channel utilization is
dropped)
5-optimized roaming
6-please suggest if i am missing something
In our setup, same controller is handling APs from HD and non-HD (high
density) environments. My concern is if i make change which is
controller wide, for instance optimized roaming, it could improve
performance in HD areas but what could it do to non-HD areas (APs far
away from each other).
I am using airmagnet PRO and Prime planning tool for survey and
planning purposes.
