Abstract:
Augmenting a neighbor report with uplink Received Signal Strength Indicators (RSSIs) may be provided. First, a conducted transmit power value of a client device may be determined. A plurality of RSSI uplink values respectively corresponding to a plurality of Access Points (APs) may then be determined. Next, a plurality of RSSI downlink values respectively corresponding to the plurality of APs may be determined based on the respective plurality of RSSI uplink values, a respective plurality of conducted transmit power values corresponding to the plurality of APs, and the conducted transmit power value of the client device. A plurality of quality metrics respectively corresponding to the plurality of APs may then be determined based on the determined plurality of RSSI uplink values and the determined plurality of RSSI downlink values. Then, a neighbor report may be optimized based on the plurality of quality metrics.
