The present disclosure pertains to a self-configuring network comprising one or more nodes each configured to provide wireless coverage to one or more transceivers. Some embodiments may: obtain a wireless propagation model, including environmental data; determine, via a computing device of the network, a set of optimal operating parameters using the obtained model and the environmental data; and configure, via the computing device, at least one of the one or more nodes with the set of optimal operating parameters. As a result, overall system performance on the larger macro scale may be maximized. That is, improving performance of only one or a few devices, on a micro-scale, may not be sufficient, as this may be achieved at the expense of harming performance of other devices.
