    Abstract: This application relates to electronic devices configured to connect to a wireless local area network and communicate using a trigger-based access mechanism. An access point is configured to manage the wireless local area network. The access point includes a processing subsystem configured to select a channel associated with a communications medium for communicating with the set of electronic devices. The processing subsystem is also configured to monitor the channel to detect interference from radio frequency sources not connected to the wireless local area network, receive channel information for at least one additional channel associated with the communications medium from the electronic devices, and configure an interface circuit of the access point to communicate with the set of electronic devices on a new channel based, at least in part, on the channel information. Each electronic device can be configured to collect the channel information and transmit the channel information to the access point for analysis.

    Abstract: Implementations of the subject technology provide object detection and/or classification for electronic devices. Object detection and/or classification can be performed using a radar sensor of an electronic device. The electronic device may be a portable electronic device. In some examples, object classification using a radar sensor can be based on an identification of user motion using radar signals and/or based on extraction of surface features from the radar signals. In some examples, object classification using a radar sensor can be based on time-varying surface features extracted from the radar signals. Surface features that can be extracted from the radar signals include a radar cross-section (RCS), a micro-doppler signal, a range, and/or one or more angles associated with one or more surfaces of the object.
