Patent number: 11197272Abstract: In dense Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) deployments, Access Points (APs) in other Extended Service Sets (ESSs) can be hidden (a first AP does not receive signals from a third AP). However, these APs in other ESSs can still interfere with communications between the third AP and the devices communicating with the first AP. To improve service to that device in that situation, the first AP needs information about the third AP in the first AP's decision making processes. In these situations, a second AP, in contact with the third AP, can share information about the third AP with the first AP so that the first AP can avoid colliding with the third AP.Type: GrantFiled: December 24, 2019Date of Patent: December 7, 2021Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Pooya Monajemi, Vishal Satyendra Desai, Benjamin Jacob Cizdziel, Santosh Babaji Kulkarni, Young Il Choi

Patent number: 11184265Abstract: Inter-protocol interference reduction for hidden nodes may be provided. A first service end point may determine that an inter-protocol interference is present on a channel. Next, an initial packet failure count value on the channel may be determined. A transmit (Tx) power for selected packets may then be increased until a subsequent packet failure count value on the channel is less than the initial packet failure count value.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2019Date of Patent: November 23, 2021Assignee: CISCO TECHNOLOGY, INC.Inventors: Ardalan Alizadeh, Gautam Dilip Bhanage, Benjamin Jacob Cizdziel, Khashayar Mirfakhraei, Matthew Aaron Silverman

Patent number: 11172484Abstract: Bypassing radar in wide Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) channels utilizing puncturing may be provided. A first client device may be classified as eligible for puncturing and a second client device may be classified as not eligible for puncturing. Next, it may be determined that a subchannel in a bandwidth range should not be used. Then, in response to determining that the subchannel in the bandwidth range should not be used, the first client device may be steered to a first subset of the bandwidth range and the second client device may be steered to a second subset of the bandwidth range. The second subset of the bandwidth range may be smaller than the first subset of the bandwidth range.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2019Date of Patent: November 9, 2021Assignee: CISCO TECHNOLOGY, INC.Inventors: Benjamin Jacob Cizdziel, Brian D.

Patent number: 11172368Abstract: Location-aware spatial reuse may be provided. First, an Overlapping Basic Service Set (OBSS) transmission to be received at a device may be detected by a first Access Point (AP). Then the location of the device may be determined. Next, based on the determined location, it may be determined that the device is out of range of the first AP. Then, in response to determining that the device is out of range of the first AP, the first AP may perform an OBSS Packet Detect (PD) based Spatial Reuse (SR) transmission without reducing a transmit (Tx) power for the transmission.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2019Date of Patent: November 9, 2021Assignee: CISCO TECHNOLOGY, INC.Inventors: Sanjay Katabathuni, Benjamin Jacob Cizdziel

Patent number: 10541778Abstract: An access point in a wireless network communicates wirelessly with one or more client devices over a channel that includes a plurality of subchannels. Each subchannel corresponds to a distinct frequency chunk with a respective plurality of subcarriers. Radar is detected on a first subchannel. In response, a selection is made between (i) redefining the channel and (ii) puncturing the first subchannel while continuing to use all other subchannels. Puncturing the first subchannel includes muting subcarriers on the first subchannel. Redefining the channel includes removing multiple subchannels from the channel. The selection is based at least in part on one or more factors that provide indications as to whether puncturing would be efficient and/or effective. The access point continues to communicate wirelessly with the one or more client devices in accordance with the selection.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2018Date of Patent: January 21, 2020Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Benjamin Jacob Cizdziel, Brian Donald Hart, Pooya Monajemi, Vishal Satyendra Desai
