1. A method of optimizing a radio performance of a wireless network,
the wireless network comprising:
a plurality of communication channels; and
a plurality of configurable radio access entities;
the method comprising:
determining, by a respective configurable radio access entity of the plurality of configurable radio access entities, a respective set of receivable radio access entities in a particular communication channel of the plurality of communication channels;
collecting, by a management entity, the respective set of the receivable radio access entities determined by the respective configurable radio access entity of the plurality of configurable radio access entities; and
optimizing, by the management entity, the radio performance of the wireless network in accordance with the respective set of the receivable radio access entities collected from the plurality of configurable radio access entities,
wherein the optimizing of the radio performance of the wireless network comprises:
determining, for the respective configurable radio access entity, a respective total number of the receivable radio access entities in the plurality of communication channels,
defining an order of a respective configurable radio access entity of interest in the plurality of configurable radio access entities in accordance with a decreasing order of the respective total number, and
processing each of the plurality of configurable radio access entities as the respective configurable radio access entity of interest in accordance with the defined order,
wherein the processing comprises:
computing a baseline value of a metric for the respective configurable radio access entity of interest in a respective presently intended communication channel, the respective presently intended communication channel being retrievable from a channel allocation vector comprising the respective presently intended communication channel of the plurality of configurable radio access entities, the computing being performed in accordance with one or both of:
the respective receivable radio access entity of the respective configurable radio access entity of interest, and
the respective configurable radio access entity comprising the respective configurable radio access entity of interest in its respective receivable radio access entities.
