Abstract: The present disclosure relates to thermal management of wireless access points including local thermal management, cloud-based thermal management, and thermal management based on optimization and operation such as in a distributed Wi-Fi network. The objective of the present disclosure is for thermal management in access points allowing small form-factors and aesthetic designs, preventing overheating and without requiring reduced performance or reduced hardware. Generally, the systems and methods detect when access points are nearing overheating and alter their operation so as to minimize the reduction of performance in the network while reducing power consumption.

Abstract: Systems and methods of cloud-based thermal control of an access point performed by a cloud-based controller include periodically obtaining temperature measurements from the access point comprising one or more radio chips operating therein; responsive to the temperature exceeding a first threshold, causing one or more thermal mitigation techniques to modify operating conditions of the one or more radio chips; and, responsive to the temperature being lower than a second threshold, causing reversion back of the one or more thermal mitigation techniques.

Abstract: Systems and methods of optimizing a distributed Wi-Fi network considering thermal management of a plurality of access points in the distributed Wi-Fi network include periodically obtaining temperature measurements from the plurality of access points; performing an optimization to configure the distributed Wi-Fi network with the temperature measurements as thermal inputs used in the optimization, wherein the optimization determines configuration parameters including one or more of a topology of the distributed Wi-Fi network, band and channel of each hop in the topology, and which clients associate with which access point on which band, based in part on the temperature measurements and thermal constraints; and providing the configuration parameters to the distributed Wi-Fi network for implementation thereof.
