    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to access point deployment in a network including a centralized system and a distributed system. An embodiment of an apparatus includes a memory and a processor executing instructions stored in the memory. The instructions include instructions to receive a message from an access point (AP) requesting a role in a network and, based on reception of the message, to access a deployment policy. The instructions further include instructions to determine whether the deployment policy is defined for the AP and, based on a determination that the deployment policy is defined for the AP, to assign the role to the AP corresponding to the deployment policy and corresponding to at least one of a centralized system or a distributed system of the network.

    Abstract: An example access point comprising: a memory; and a processor executing instructions stored in the memory to: determine a first interference event while operating on a first channel, wherein the first channel is designated to the access point in a global channel plan by a network controller based on a global view of a wireless network; switch to operate on a second channel from the first channel for a first amount of time in response to the first interference event; determine a second interference event of the same event type as the first interference event on the first channel, wherein the second interference event is the same event type as the first interference event; and switch to operate on the second channel from the first channel for a longer amount of time than the first amount of time, wherein the second channel is selected based on a local view of the wireless network by the access point.
