Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for network scanning. For example, the systems and methods can address AP scanning in the WiFi-6 context, where AP scanning frequency and the number of 6 GHz channels can be reduced. Additionally, the timing of AP scanning (on 2.4/5/6 GHz channels) can be adjusted to wait until STA's buffered frames are sent to AP and/or while a STA is asleep due to time TWT.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for upgrading wireless network devices, such as access points (APs). When a first AP needs an upgrade, a network controller of the first AP may identify and select a neighbor AP. The radio(s) of the neighbor AP can be split into multiple logical radios, at least one of which includes a backup virtual AP (VAP). The backup VAP can support client devices originally supported by the first AP, allowing those client devices to roam to the neighbor AP while the first AP is upgrading, and without needing to re-associate with the neighbor AP. From the client device perspective, it appears as though they are still being supported by the first AP. Upon upgrading the first AP, the client devices can roam back to the first AP (without needing to re-associate with the first AP). No downtime is experienced, and no RF holes are generated.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for using multiple MBSSIDs associated with groups of VAPs for an AP. The groups of VAPs can be determined for an AP based on various characteristics that separate one group of VAPs from another group of VAPs. Each group of VAPs can be associated with an MBSSID based on the BSSIDs of the VAPs in the group of VAPs. The AP can broadcast the MBSSIDs of each group of VAPs instead of broadcasting an MBSSID for all VAPs associated with the AP.
