Heavy Overlap Coverage Option

By arranging the Access Points so the overlap in coverage area is nearly
maximized, a large number of mobile stations can be supported in the same
wireless infrastructure (see Figure 2-2). However, devices in overlapping
coverage areas on the same frequency will detect adjacent cell traffic and delay
transmissions that would cause collisions. This configuration reduces the
aggregate radio system throughput. Heavy cell overlap is not recommended for
maximum system throughput.
Because of the redundancy in coverage overlap, network access is not lost if an
Access Point fails. Upon failure of the Access Point, the station automatically
roams to an operational Access Point. With this architecture, each device in the
RF network must be configured with the same SSID to provide the roaming
capability.
