  • Patent number: 11206203
    Abstract: Embodiments generally disclosed herein include a computer-implemented method for monitoring and correlating network traffic data associated with a primary network that is in communication with a plurality of secondary networks. The method generates a network traffic data set by monitoring network traffic between the primary network and the plurality of secondary networks. The method also determines a mapping of network connectivity by monitoring inter-network routing information between the primary network and the plurality of secondary networks. In addition, the method generates a traffic measurement data set by monitoring network utilization statistics between the primary network and the plurality of secondary networks. With the collected data sets, the method then calculates a relational network mapping between the primary network and the plurality of secondary networks by correlating the network traffic data set, the mapping of network connectivity, and the traffic measurement data set.

  • Patent number: 11206600
    Abstract: An interface device may provide a first wireless network and a second wireless network in a user's premise. The interface device may encourage some user devices to connect to the second wireless network without controlling the user devices. For example, the interface device may receive a request from a device to access its first wireless network. The interface device may then determine whether the device is a premise device by, for example, searching a database of device registration information. The interface device may determine that the device is a premise device and deny the request to access the first wireless network. The device may then be available to access the second wireless network.

  • Patent number: 11206560
    Abstract: A wireless relay mitigates cross-relay interference when serving wireless user devices. A network transceiver detects wireless access points and determines signal strengths for the wireless access points. The network transceiver transmits test signals to the wireless access points and directs a user transceiver to detect interference levels during the test. The network transceiver uses the interference level reported by user transceiver to calculate the interference level it would receive from the transmitter of user transceiver with a certain algorithm. The network transceiver selects wireless access points based on their signal strength and calculated cross-relay interference levels. The network transceiver exchanges user data with the selected wireless access points. The user transceiver exchanges the user data with the wireless user devices.
