    Abstract: Spectrum management may be provided. A first Radio Frequency (RF) event metric may be received from a first service end point. The first RF event metric may comprise a time a first event occurred. A second RF event metric may be received from a second service end point. The second RF event metric may comprise a time a second event occurred. Then it may be determined that the time the first event occurred and the time the second event occurred are substantially congruent. Next, in response to determining that the time the first event occurred and the time the second event occurred are substantially congruent, the first service end point and the second service end point may be grouped in a first RF group thereby allowing frequency re-use across similar RF groups. Then different channels may be assigned to the first service end point and the second service end point.

    Abstract: A method performed by a system which manages station transition from a Wi-Fi access point includes sending, based on the station roaming to an edge-of-domain access point, a request to neighboring access points to the edge-of-domain access point for neighbor reports. The method includes receiving a cellular signal value from the station, comparing a first signal grade associated with the edge-of-domain access point to a second signal grade associated with the cellular signal value to yield a comparison and generating a link usability rating associated with a link between the station and the edge-of-domain access point. Based at least in part on the comparison and the link usability rating, the method includes transmitting a message to the station suggesting that the station roam from the edge-of-domain access point to a cellular network. An edge of the domain can also be dynamic and vary based on station characteristics.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a supervisory device for a wireless network classifies each client of a set of access points in the wireless network as either an Internet of Things (IoT) device or a non-IoT device. The supervisory device selects, for each of the access points in the set, a channel width based on the classifications of its clients. The supervisory device assigns, for each of the access points in the set, one or more wireless channels for use by that access point, based on the selected channel width for that access point. The supervisory device instructs the access points in the set to use their assigned channels to communicate with their clients.

    Abstract: Presented herein are techniques for using mobile client density to compensate for variations in path loss between neighboring access points. In one example, a device (e.g., wireless controller) determines one or more mobile client density variation trends in a wireless network location and determines one or more neighbor message power variation trends between at least first and second access points within the wireless network location. The device generates one or more correlation bias factors using the mobile client density variation trends and the neighbor message power variation trends. The device determines a path loss between at least the first and second access points based on the correlation bias factor and data associated with neighbor messages sent between the first and second access points.

    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to the use of active feedback from client devices to limit/regulate transmission power control of access points from the perspective of the client device. The instant transmission power control beneficially ensures that clients located at a cell edge still receive sufficient coverage from access points and have sufficient overlap with adjacent cells for seamless roaming for the wireless stations while minimizing co-channel interference. In some embodiments, the present disclosure beneficially leverages 802.11h TPC Constraint to dynamically report client's view of the RF environment and cell size estimation.

    Abstract: The present disclosure is related to dynamic methods of managing roaming of client devices at boundaries of area serviced by access points. In one aspect, a method includes estimating by a controller, first signal information of a signal transmitted by an access point and received at a client device, the first signal information being from the perspective of the access point, the client device operating at a boundary of an area serviced by the access point; determining, by the controller, second signal information for the signal, the second signal information being from the perspective of the client device; and performing, by the controller, roaming management of the client device based on the first signal information and the second signal information.

    Abstract: An access point in a wireless network communicates wirelessly with one or more client devices over a channel that includes a plurality of subchannels. Each subchannel corresponds to a distinct frequency chunk with a respective plurality of subcarriers. Radar is detected on a first subchannel. In response, a selection is made between (i) redefining the channel and (ii) puncturing the first subchannel while continuing to use all other subchannels. Puncturing the first subchannel includes muting subcarriers on the first subchannel. Redefining the channel includes removing multiple subchannels from the channel. The selection is based at least in part on one or more factors that provide indications as to whether puncturing would be efficient and/or effective. The access point continues to communicate wirelessly with the one or more client devices in accordance with the selection.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a service maintains a plurality of machine learning-based client behavioral models. Each behavioral model models wireless client behavior of a particular client type and configuration. The service selects one or more of the behavioral models to emulate the modeled one or more wireless client behaviors in a wireless network. The service controls, by using the selected one or more behavioral models, one or more emulation points in the wireless network to generate wireless client traffic in the wireless network that exhibits the modeled one or more wireless client behaviors. The service obtains performance metrics from the wireless network associated with the generated wireless client traffic.
