摘要： In a microcell environment, access points with a probe-if-assigned setting configured to delay probe responses to probe requests is registered and managed by a Wi-Fi controller. Probe requests are received and forwarded from at least two of the plurality of access points from a specific station attempting to connect to the Wi-Fi communication network. A Wi-Fi assignment module receives RSSI measurements from the at least two access points with respect to the specific access point, during a delay from the probe-if-assigned setting. A specific access point is assigned to the specific station for sending a probe response once a delay period expires.

摘要： Airtime network policies for quarantined station network policies are stored in a database for application to quarantined stations. Quarantined stations are moved from a first VLAN to a quarantine VLAN with a dedicated BSSID on the Wi-Fi communication network. An RU airtime allocation module of the access point allocates airtime RUs for suppression of some or all transmissions from the quarantined stations. The airtime RU allocation module determines an amount of RUs for access to airtime on a Wi-Fi communications network, based on a network policy that limits an amount of airtime allowed by quarantined stations.
