    摘要： In one embodiment, wireless access point management is optimized. The data bandwidth and/or processing requirements for data indicating operation of the access point is baselined. For example, air quality or interference measurements are made at the access point on a regular basis. The interference measurements over one or more periods, such as one period of 24 hours, provide a baseline. Rather than transmitting and processing the subsequent measurements that are normal or within the baseline, a lack of information or data requiring less bandwidth than the measurements communicates to a controller or server that the measurements are normal or within the baseline.

    摘要： In an example embodiment, a wireless device is configured to associate with a first access point on a first frequency. The wireless device listens for a predefined frame, which may be sent by neighboring access points or other wireless devices. When the wireless device receives a signal comprising a predefined frame, the wireless device acquires a parameter, such as signal strength, for the signal. The wireless device sends the parameter for the signal to the first access point.

    摘要： Methods, apparatuses, and systems directed to processing location and network data in a wireless network. According to one implementation of the present invention, a location server functions both as a middleware data collection engine and a calculation engine in a hierarchical WLAN system. In one implementation, the location server collects network data associated with mobile nodes. As described in further detail below, mobile nodes may include one or more of wireless mobile stations (e.g., wireless laptops, dual-mode phones, personal digital assistants, etc.), radio frequency identification (RFID) tags, rogue wireless access points and rogue wireless clients. In one implementation, the location server may process at least some of the network data to determine information associated with the mobile nodes. For example, the location server may compute the location of a given mobile node, which is accessible to other applications using one or more defined application programming interfaces (APIs). In one implementation, the location server may track the node history of a given mobile node. In one implementation, the location server may correlate processed network information to one or more locations or regions in the wireless network environment. For example, in one implementation, the location server may compute the load (i.e., amount of traffic) in a given region. The load may be used to further compute traffic patterns in the region. Such computations may be based on types of mobile nodes (e.g., wireless clients) and/or based on time periods (e.g., 12 pm-5 pm). As described in more detail below, such information may facilitate management of a wireless network. For example, the processed information may indicate locations that may require deployment of more resources (e.g., additional wireless access points).
