    Abstract: In a Wi-Fi system having three or more Wi-Fi devices operating over multiple Wi-Fi bands, implementations include forming first and second connections between first and second pairs of Wi-Fi device, respectively. A first group of channels is assigned to a first Wi-Fi device for communicating with a second Wi-Fi device via the first connection using a first set of connection channels selected from the first group of assigned channels. A second group of channels (different from the first group) is assigned to the second Wi-Fi device, where the second group of assigned channels includes at least the first set of connection channels. The second Wi-Fi device communicates with the third Wi-Fi device via the second wireless connection using a second set of connection channels selected from the second group of assigned channels. The first group of assigned channels is different from the second group of assigned channels.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for optimizing a cluster of Wi-Fi networks operating within a vicinity of each other are provided. In one implementation, a method includes detecting a cluster of Wi-Fi networks operating independently of each other, where the cluster is defined in that each Wi-Fi network includes a wireless transceiver configured to receive at least a minimum amount of signal power from one or more other wireless transceivers of one or more other Wi-Fi networks of the cluster. The method includes determining a plurality of Wi-Fi networks of the cluster that are enabled for cooperative optimization. Also, the method includes assigning a Wi-Fi channel selected from a plurality of available Wi-Fi channels to each of the wireless transceivers associated with the plurality of Wi-Fi networks enabled for cooperative optimization to reduce a total amount of potential interference in the cluster caused by the signal power received from independently-operated wireless transceivers.
