Abstract: A method including selecting multiple dedicated radios on a transmission channel and programming multiple association identifiers on each dedicated radio is provided. Each of the association identifiers is configured to detect a resource unit assigned to one of multiple stations. The method includes providing multiple packets collected from the dedicated radios to a server and merging the packets from the dedicated radios to identify at least one station. Merging the packets includes identifying a preamble in the packets from the dedicated radios, matching the preamble from different dedicated radios, combining a data portion of the packets from different dedicated radios whose preamble match, selecting a time-stamp from one of the dedicated radios, and associating the time-stamp with the data portion. A system and a non-transitory, computer readable medium storing instructions to perform the above method are also provided.

Abstract: An example device at a gateway node in a mesh network comprising: a processor to negotiate with other gateway node in the mesh network to obtain a common network identifier wherein the mesh network includes at least two gateway nodes uniquely identified by at least two node identifiers; report the common network identifier to a route generator for establishing a source routing tree for gateway nodes in the mesh network, wherein the source routing tree includes the gateway node as a root and a plurality of non-root nodes each comprising a non-gateway node including the device.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a display, a wireless communication device, an input device, and a processor. The processor to provide a first connection plan and a second connection plan via the display to a user. The first connection plan identifies a first set of rules of wireless access point selection and the second connection plan identifies a second set of rules for wireless access point selection. The processor also to receive a selection corresponding one of the first connection plan and the second connection plan from the user via the input device and to select one of a first wireless access point and a second wireless access point based on first network performance data of the first wireless access point, second network performance data of the second wireless access point, and the selection. The processor further to establish a network connection with the selected wireless access point via the wireless communication device.
