1. A system comprising:
a memory storage; and
a processing unit, the processing unit disposed in a station and in data communication with the memory storage, the station in a network of access points the processing unit operative to:
determine access points operating in a low power indoor (LPI) mode and access points operating in a standard power (SP or SPI) mode;
for each access point in the network, determine a composite radio frequency (RF) density score, wherein higher density scores correspond to a denser population of access points in the network;
if the composite RF density score is above a determined level, designate an access point that supports frequencies below a threshold level and that have an effective isotropic radiated power (EiRP) above a determined level as a seed candidate; and
designate at least one of the seed candidates as a seed access point.
