Abstract: Third party applications are deployed as “containerized applications” on one or more wireless AP devices. The containerized applications are confined to a pre-allocated segregated disk space within a file system of a wireless AP device. The containerized applications have access to standard Linux services as well as access to advanced features provided by an AP.

Abstract: A method and system for virtualization of access points are disclosed. According to certain embodiments, separate wireless mobility domains can be used to manage access points.

Abstract: A method and system for virtualization of access points are disclosed. According to certain embodiments, a cloud site controller manager can automatically respond to a discovery request from a wireless access point by sending, to the wireless access point, an IP address and port information of a tenant controller associated with the tenant account information with which the wireless access point is in turn associated.

Abstract: Third party applications are deployed as “containerized applications” on one or more wireless AP devices. The containerized applications are confined to a pre-allocated segregated disk space within a file system of a given wireless AP device. The containerized applications have access to standard Linux services as well as access to advanced features provided by a given AP.

Abstract: Balancing loads across access points in a wireless environment may be achieved based on weighting, for each of a set of access points, one or more factors including but not limited to visibility and distance of a given client relative to a given access point, congestion and CPU load of a given access point, number of connected clients, and relative received signal strength indication, according to certain embodiments.

Abstract: A method and system for virtualization of access points are disclosed. According to certain embodiments, access points at virtual private networks can act as soft VPN gateways.

Abstract: A method and system for virtualization of access points are disclosed. According to certain embodiments, in order to support L3 mobility in WLANS that use cloud-based controllers, methods including predicting client roaming range, and employing a roaming anchor AP are used.

Abstract: A given connected wireless client device/node in a wireless communication system is controlled to consume its allocated airtime in a controlled distributed manner across a cycle to prevent excessive hogging of a transmission channel and/or to prevent excessive dropping of packets.

Abstract: A method and system for virtualization of access points are disclosed. According to certain embodiments, after the access point network processor captures the packets and stores the data on the direct memory access (DMA), the access point's OS is designed to call an access point kernel-space driver to directly transfer the data from DMA to the access point's hard disk and thus bypasses the access point's OS File System.

Abstract: A method and system for virtualization of access points are disclosed. According to certain embodiments, a cloud controller CAPWAP discovery protocol that uses the standard HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) protocol is used to replace the traditional CAPWAP for use in the multi-tenant cloud structure. Further, according to certain embodiments, the access point has the intelligence to switch over from a CAPWAP over a Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) protocol to a CAPWAP over HTTP protocol when the access point detects a firewall between the access point and the corresponding cloud controller.
