    Abstract: Examples described herein relate to a method for managing association of a client device with a virtual access point (VAP) hosted on an access point (AP). The method includes monitoring, by the AP, data traffic corresponding to the client device associated with a first VAP. The first VAP is mapped to a first Multiple Basic Service Set Identifier (MBSSID) set configured with a first quality of service (QoS) parameter. The AP also hosts a second VAP mapped to a second MBSSID set configured with a second QoS parameter. Further, the AP determines a communication demand of the client device based on the data traffic. Furthermore, the AP steers the client device to the second VAP based on the communication demand and the second QoS parameter, and communicates with the client device through the second VAP.

    Abstract: Examples described herein relate to an investigator device and a method for determining a condition of an antenna of an access point (AP). At least one investigator device may receive one or more antenna condition test frames transmitted via a plurality of antennas of the AP Further, the at least one investigator device may determine an average received signal strength indicator (RSSI) value corresponding to each of the plurality of antennas based on the one or more antenna condition test frames. A condition of the plurality of antennas of the AP may be determined based on a relative comparison between the average RSSI value corresponding to each of the plurality of antennas of the AP. Moreover, in some examples, the at least one investigator device may send a notification to an administrator of the AP based on the condition of the plurality of antennas.

    Abstract: Examples described herein relate to a method for reconfiguring a beacon by an access point (AP) to minimize or avoid network outages experienced by client devices connected to the AP. The AP transmits a beacon comprising a basic service set identifier (BSSID) field and a Multiple BSSID (MBSSID) element. The MBSSID element corresponds to an MBSSID set comprising a transmitted BSSID associated with a transmitted virtual access point (VAP) and a non-transmitted BSSID associated with a non-transmitted VAP, where the BSSID field in the beacon is set to the transmitted BSSID. Further, the AP reconfigures the beacon to generate a reconfigured beacon upon determining that the transmitted VAP is non-functional. In particular, the BSSID field in the reconfigured beacon is set to the non-transmitted BSSID of the MBSSID set. Moreover, the AP transmits the reconfigured beacon to the client device.

    Abstract: Implementations of the present disclosure relate to selecting a transmitting virtual access point (VAP) for a MBSSID set. A method comprises selecting a VAP from a set of VAPs as a transmitting VAP based on context information about the set of VAPs, at least one of the set of VAPs other than the transmitting VAP being determined as at least one non-transmitting VAP The method also comprises generating a beacon frame for the set of VAPs by including an identifier of the transmitting VAP in a header part of the beacon frame and including at least one identifier of the at least one non-transmitting VAP in a payload part of the beacon frame. A generated beacon frame is broadcasted. In this way, a transmitting VAP of a set of VAPs is no longer determined by default, but can be selected for different cases.

    Abstract: Examples of techniques for dynamically controlling data bursts are described. In an example, an access point (AP) monitors a link quality between the AP and a client device associated with the AP. The AP determines a channel occupancy of a channel in which the AP is configured to operate. In response to determining that the channel occupancy is less than a channel busy threshold, the AP modifies a burst duration for traffic flow between the AP and the client device based on the link quality. The AP communicates with the client device using the channel for the modified burst duration.
