1. A method comprising:
obtaining, by hardware processing circuitry, an orientation measurement of an access point (AP), wherein the orientation measurement of the AP includes a position of the AP with respect to a reference position of the AP;
determining, by the hardware processing circuitry, a gain of an antenna of the AP based on the orientation measurement;
determining, by the hardware processing circuitry, a transmit power limit of the AP based on the gain of the antenna of the AP being above a predefined angle above a horizon defined by the reference position of the AP; and
instructing, by the hardware processing circuitry, the AP to limit transmission power of the AP in accordance with the transmit power limit.
