Abstract: Systems and methods implemented through a user device, for claiming network devices for a home network in a distributed Wi-Fi network includes discovering a newly powered on access point; claiming the newly powered on access point for the home network; and relaying the claimed newly powered on access point to a cloud controller via a disjoint network from the home network, wherein the home network is restricted by the cloud controller to only operate with claimed access points. The discovering, the claiming, and the relaying can be performed by a mobile application executed on the user device.

Abstract: Systems and methods implemented by a cloud-based controller to control a Wi-Fi network with a plurality of access points include obtaining measurements from the Wi-Fi network; determining a configuration of the Wi-Fi network based on the measurements, wherein the configuration comprises a topology of the Wi-Fi network and the topology comprises the plurality of access points selectively interconnected to one another via backhaul links; and providing the configuration to the Wi-Fi network for implementation thereof.

Abstract: Systems and methods for visualization and troubleshooting of a distributed Wi-Fi network, implemented through one of a mobile application and a web page, include, responsive to obtaining data from the distributed Wi-Fi network, providing a map of the distributed Wi-Fi network based on the obtained data, wherein the map includes a first icon designating a gateway node, one or more second icons each designating one or more nodes, and connectors between the gateway node, wherein the gateway node and the one or more nodes are in a tree topology; providing a visualization in the map based on a current operational status of the distributed Wi-Fi network from the obtained data, wherein the visualization comprises a plurality of visual indicators of the current operational status; and providing notifications based on the current operational status.

Abstract: Systems and methods for optimizing a distributed Wi-Fi network via a cloud based system using a plurality of control loops over multiple timescales include receiving and storing data measurements associated with operation of the distributed Wi-Fi network; performing one or more of: a fast loop optimization of operating parameters associated with the distributed Wi-Fi network based on one or more first metrics and associated first thresholds; and a slow loop optimization of the operating parameters associated with the distributed Wi-Fi network based on one or more second metrics and associated second thresholds, wherein a timescale of the fast loop optimization is finer than a timescale of the slow loop optimization; and providing the operating parameters to the distributed Wi-Fi network for configuration thereof.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a high throughput, low pin count, low power, and small area solution for the interface between a host device and a wireless communication circuit. In one embodiment of the invention, a system for wireless communication using a host-slave interface is disclosed. The system is comprised of a host device having a slave interface, and a wireless communication circuit having a master interface coupled to the host device's slave interface. The wireless communication circuit transfers data between a wireless network and the host device. Using such a system, a wireless communication system with a host-slave interface is produced.

Abstract: An access point in a wireless communication system can be configured to include multiple virtual LANS (VLANs) based on security levels, thereby allowing secure traffic to be isolated from insecure traffic. Configuring the access point can include assigning a security level to each VLAN and setting a security association for each station associated with the access point. Based on this security association, each station can be assigned to an appropriate VLAN.

Abstract: Wireless local area networks must work in less than ideal environments, including environments having externally and internally generated interfering RF signals. Interfering signals can cause significant problems with signal detecting, amplifier gain adjustment, and signal decoding. Various parameters of the WLAN receiver can be adjusted to mitigate the effects of interference. By selectively adjusting sets of these parameters, receiver sensitivity and interference immunity can be advantageously balanced. In one embodiment, adjustments to these parameter sets can be made in response to different sources of interference.
