Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided for performing a live upgrade process of one or more devices (e.g., access points (APs), etc.) in a large scale network environment. For example, the system can use neighbor path loss data between the APs. The neighbor path loss data may identify the signal strength between two points as an indication of the ability to transmit power and receive power from the individual APs. When the ability to transmit and receive power is present in one AP is unavailable the user device may connect to a second AP to avoid losing connectivity. This neighbor path loss data may be utilized to perform a live upgrade process of APs in parallel at multiple locations of the user site.
