  • Publication number: 20230239203
    Abstract: Systems and methods for managing a network are disclosed. For example, systems and methods are disclosed for selectively disabling and/or otherwise configuring devices to avoid interference, overlapping service, and/or the like. Signal information for nearby devices can be detected and analyzed to determine device configuration settings.
    Type: Application

  • Patent number: 11659472
    Abstract: Systems and methods for managing a network are disclosed. One method can comprise determining a first modulation rate associated with a network device. A beacon can be transmitted at a second modulation rate, wherein the second modulation rate is greater than the first modulation rate. A user device can be associated with the network device based on the beacon if the user device is configured to support the second modulation rate.

  • Publication number: 20220141689
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure are directed toward intelligently selecting the operating parameters of wireless access points (WAPs) deployed in a wireless environment so as to minimize or at least reduce interference in that wireless environment. A WAP continually measures the characteristics of the wireless channels used in the wireless environment and obtains measurements of channel metrics for those channels. The WAP stores the channel metric measurements as a channel metric history and analyzes the channel metric history to determine correlations between the channel metric measurements and various timeframes. The WAP selects one or more of its operating parameters based on the channel metric history and the correlations identified. Operating parameters include the radio frequency band and channel to transmit on.
