BACKGROUND

A wireless local area network (WLAN) is widely applied to a home, an office, and another indoor/outdoor environment.

A sidelobe suppression capability of the directional antenna determines a capability to suppress co-channel interference between adjacent access point devices in the high-density deployment scenario.
