I don't know if any such idiosyncratic signaturization is possible here amongst spread spectrum frequencies that are overcrowded. I know for a fact that there are many discussions now underway among tenants in the same skyscrapers to use wireless LAN. I have an 802.11b setup in my home (connected to it right now from my den). If I turn on my microwave oven, which is in between my den and the access point, my throughput drops by 80%. I wonder if they are talking into account these little situations. How much of the skyscraper situation would be resolved with the vertical limits of the fresnel zone assuming a 350' radius range from the access point? Another factor that may help would be the construction material separating each floor. But outside of those things, the use of CSMA/CA does allow for implementation of QoS that could be used to accomodate multi-tenant environments as well as for the support of real time applications such as wireless IP telephony.
