    Abstract: An example method for managing transmit powers of a networking device is presented. A network management device is configured to determine an expected path loss value at a receiver of a first networking device based at least on the distance between the first networking device and the second networking device. Further, the network management device receives a measured path loss value relative to the second networking device from the first networking device. The network management device then determines a target transmit power for the transmitter of the second networking device based on the measured path loss value and an offset value. The offset value is determined based on the expected path loss value and the measured path loss value. After determining the target transmit power, the network management device sends an instruction to the second networking device to operate the transmitter at the target transmit power.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for dynamic power allocation across a network deployment through a power consumption credits system that can balance a power budget throughout the network deployment by allocating credits to high power consuming network devices and generating credits by low-power consumption network devices. An example of the systems and methods associate a credit pool with a network deployment and map a number of credits to the credit pool based on a power budget. Credits can be allocated from the credit pool to network devices on the network deployment and/or accumulated into the credit pool from the network devices based on power consumption requirements of the network devices relative to a baseline.

    Abstract: A set of AP radios to which configurations are to be deployed is identified. A candidate deployment order for deploying configurations to the set of AP radios is determined by an order-deploy algorithm. The algorithm seeks to spread out configuration deployments to AP radios both spatially and temporally such that APs that are located close to one another in the network receive their configuration updates as part of different deployment batches with delay periods introduced between consecutive batch deployments. The algorithm orders the set of APs by iterating through a network factor hierarchy to place APs that share certain network factors such as the same band or channel close to one another in the candidate deployment order and place APs that share certain other network factors (e.g., same switch, RF domain, and/or RF partition) far from one another in the order.

    Abstract: A method for protecting 802.11 ax networks includes receiving, by an access point, a plurality of Single User (SU) Quality of Service (QOS) NULL frames from a station, tracking, by the access point as the plurality of SU QOS NULL frames are received, a variable in one or more of the plurality of SU QOS NULL frames, determining, by the access point and based on tracking the variable, the station is suspicious, sending, by the access point and in response to determining the station is suspicious, a request to check a status of the variable, determining, by the access point and based on a response to the request, the station is under attack, and flagging, by the access point, the station as under an attack.

    Abstract: A method for processing a denial of service (DOS) includes: receiving a de-authentication/disassociation (D/D) frame by an access point (AP), determining by the AP a state of security association establishment between the AP and a client device, maintaining a connection between the AP and the client device if the security association is incomplete, sending a probe packet from the AP to the client device if security association is complete and the connection between the AP and the client device is in a non-PMF (protected management frames) setting, maintaining the connection if the client device responds to the probe packet, and terminating the connection if the client device does not respond to the probe packet.
