Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a system and method for providing guest WiFi authentication based on physical proximity to a dedicated access point in a guest wireless network. Specifically, a network device determines that a client device associated with a guest user is located within close physical proximity to a particular access point in a guest wireless network, and authenticates the client device for guest wireless network access based on its close physical proximity to the particular access point without requiring any guest user registration. In particular, the network device determines a first signal strength level of a wireless signal received from the client device by the particular access point, and determines that the first signal strength level exceeds a threshold. The threshold is based on difference between signal strength levels of the wireless signal received at the client device and at a distance corresponding to the close physical proximity.

Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a method and network device for automatic detection of VIP guests on wireless networks. The network device can receive a request for network access, by a client device used by a guest user, at a location associated with an entity. Furthermore, the network device can identify characteristics of a sponsor of the guest user, the sponsor being associated with the entity; and/or email domain for the guest user; and/or characteristics of a particular check-in station at which the guest user checked in for access at the location associated with the entity. The network device then determines a set of one or more characteristics of the network access by the client device used by the guest user, and provides the client device used by the guest user network access per the determined set of characteristics of the network access.

Abstract: A radio frequency exchange utilization calculation method in wireless medium that comprises identifying a plurality of packet counters pertaining to each of a plurality of transmission speeds and to each of a plurality of components of the wireless medium, identifying a plurality of octet counters pertaining to each of a plurality of transmission speeds and to each of a plurality of components of the wireless medium, incrementing each packet counter by one in accordance to the speed a data packet is transmitted, incrementing each plurality of octet counters by a number of octets in the data packet, calculating a packet weighted effective bit rate, calculating an octet weighted effective bit rate, calculating a total data exchanged, and calculating a percentage for the radio frequency exchange performance.

Abstract: Described is a system comprising a computing device, a wireless computing unit and a network management arrangement (“NMA”). The NMA receives a first signal and a second signal from the computing device. The NMA forwards the second signal to the unit and receives a third signal from the unit which is an acknowledgment of receipt of the second signal. The NMA determines a first time value indicative of a difference between a time of receipt of the first signal and a time of receipt of the second signal. The NMA compares the first time value to a first threshold range to generate a first output data. The NMA determines a second time value indicative of a difference between a time of transmission of the second signal and a time of receipt of the third signal. The NMA compares the second time value to a second threshold range to generate second output data. The NMA executes a response procedure as a function of at least one of the first and second output data.

Abstract: Described is a system including first and second access points and a switch. The first access point transmits a radio frequency signal. The second access point receives the signal and detects a signal strength of the signal. The switch receives the signal strength from the second access point and generates output data as a function of the signal strength and a predetermined signal strength. The switch executes a predetermined procedure which corresponds to the output data.
