  • Patent number: 12580836
    Abstract: Techniques are described for orchestration of measurements between a plurality of devices in a wireless network. In an example, a computing system configured to orchestrate round-trip time (RTT) measurements in a network of a plurality of wireless devices comprises one or more processors and a memory comprising instructions that when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to: generate a network graph of the plurality of wireless devices in which each wireless device pair of a plurality of wireless device pairs of the network graph is connected by an edge assigned to an identifier, wherein each edge of at least two adjacent edges is assigned a different identifier; and orchestrate the RTT measurements such that RTT measurements between wireless device pairs connected by edges assigned to a same identifier are performed in parallel.

  • Publication number: 20260059489
    Abstract: A network management system (NMS) automatically determines locations of deployed access points (APs) in a wireless network. The system identifies clusters of APs, wherein each AP in a cluster is a member of at least one robust quad, and wherein each robust quad in the cluster has three APs in common with another robust quad in the cluster. The NMS identifies one of the plurality of clusters as a global cluster and the remaining plurality of clusters as local clusters. The NMS determines coordinates of each node in the global cluster based on the coordinates of the anchor APs in the global coordinate system. For each local cluster, the NMS transforms the coordinates of each AP from the respective local coordinate system to the global coordinate system.

  • Publication number: 20250267618
    Abstract: Techniques describe a network management system comprising a memory and processing circuitry configured to obtain distance measurements between at least two devices at a site, wherein the at least two devices comprise at least one reference device positioned at a known location and a target device relative to the at least one reference device positioned at an unknown location. The processing circuitry may further be configured to obtain directional information specifying a direction of one or more signals communicated between the at least one reference device and the target device. The processing circuitry may further be configured to determine, based on the distance measurements and the directional information, a plurality of possible positions of the target device relative to the at least one reference device. The processing circuitry may further be configured to determine, based on the directional information, a candidate position from the plurality of possible positions.

  • Publication number: 20240224165
    Abstract: The disclosure describes a system comprising a plurality of APs configured to provide a wireless network at a site and a computing device that implements a network management system (NMS) that manages the plurality of APs, the computing device comprising: one or more processors and a memory comprising instructions that when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to: obtain network data indicative of communication relationships between the plurality of APs; generate, based on the network data, a network graph indicative of neighbor relationships between the plurality of APs; group the plurality of APs into a plurality of clusters of APs based on the neighbor relationships between the plurality of APs; and uniquely assign, to each of the plurality of clusters, an identifier of a plurality of identifiers indicative of a cluster of the plurality of clusters with respect to the site.
