  • Patent number: 11470531
    Abstract: An improved Wi-Fi access point dynamically determines the interference level of each channel. The access point determines that a new channel is better suited to serve an RTC/RTE application over the present channel based on the interference levels and a set of interference measure thresholds. The access point automatically creates a new basic service set on the new channel and associates the RTC/RTE device running the RTC/RTE application with the new basic service set. The access point further refuses to associate the RTC/RTE device with the previous channel when the interference level on the new channel remains low based on a second set of interference measure thresholds. In addition, the access point allows additional RTC/RTE devices to join the new basic service set with the first RTC/RTE device when the interference level on the new channel remains low based on the second set of interference measure thresholds.
