  • Patent number: 11659424
    Abstract: During operation, an access point compares a communication performance metric of the access point and a parameter corresponding to communication performance metrics of one or more second access points. For example, the access point may determine the communication performance metric based on communication with one or more electronic devices and/or may receive information specifying the communication performance metrics of the one or more second access points. Then, the access point selectively provides a recommendation for a first connected electronic device in the one or more electronic devices based at least in part on the comparison and a history of responses of at least the first connected electronic device to one or more previous recommendations, where the recommendation indicates that the first connected electronic device, which is associated with the access point, transition to a different communication channel.

  • Patent number: 11585838
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for detecting node outages in a mesh network. A tracking node in the mesh network detects a set of signals originating from a tracked node in the mesh network. The set of signals includes beacons or communication messages transmitted by the tracked node. The tracking node determines that a threshold number of the beacon intervals have passed since receiving the most recent signal from the tracked node. The tracking node performs outage validation based on data received from another node in the mesh network and updates the status of the tracked node. Based on the updated status, the tracking node outputs a ping to the tracked node requesting a response to the ping. When the response to the ping is not received from the tracked node, the tracking node transmits an outage alarm message to a next topologically higher layer of the mesh network.
