It happens daily. We have 22 offices around the world, each in downtown
towers. We use Cisco WLCs, and those controllers see constant deauth frames
coming from people above us, below us, and from the four sides around us. It
is a real battle. The only thing to do is use lots of APs in the office so
as to keep the power levels down.

Well,  based on the Marriott incident,  it seems that what you need to
do is figure out where the Deauths are coming from via direction
finding and  start sending written notices to your neighbors,   and if
the behavior persists --- follow them up with some FCC interference
complaints.
