Abstract: Presented herein are techniques to allocate use of controlled wireless spectrum. A method includes receiving, from a wireless local area network service provider, a request for wireless local area network spectrum for a future time window, wherein the wireless local area network spectrum is subject to automated frequency coordination, in response to the request, sending, to an incumbent that uses the wireless local area network spectrum, a query consistent with the request for the wireless local area network spectrum for the future time window, receiving, from the incumbent, in response to the query, a grant to use the wireless local area network spectrum for the future time window, and in response to receiving the grant, sending permission to the wireless local area network service provider to use the wireless local area network spectrum for the future time window.

Abstract: Presented herein are techniques to optimize wireless local area network access point beam settings. A method includes, during a survey period, causing a first access point and a second access point in a wireless local area network, to simultaneously transmit survey transmissions according to a predetermined sequence of transmission states, receiving, from a survey station that received the survey transmissions during the survey period, telemetry associated with the survey transmissions, the telemetry including a location of the survey station when the survey station received the survey transmissions, and after the survey period, controlling, based on the telemetry associated with the survey transmissions, the first access point to operate according to a first transmission state from among the transmission states and the second access point to operate according to a second transmission state from among the transmission states.

Abstract: Techniques herein facilitate dynamic configuration of a wireless local area network (WLAN) for large public venue (LPV) environments. In one example, a method may include providing an initial configuration for access points APs of a WLAN for an event at an LPV based on a profile for the event, a location of each AP for the venue, and anticipated demand at the APs; determining, for a particular time for the event, a distribution of wireless devices and channel support capabilities of the wireless devices different locations for the LPV; and providing an updated configuration for one or more APs at the one or more locations for the venue based on the distribution of the wireless devices and the channel support capabilities of the wireless devices determined for the particular time for the event at the LPV.

Abstract: A method for providing adaptive radio transmit power based on antenna pattern and elevation tilt measured through an accelerometer is provided. The method includes estimating an orientation of a wireless device using an orientation sensor integrated in or on the wireless device, and determining an adjustment factor for a transmitter of the wireless device based on the orientation. The method further includes adjusting output power of the transmitter of the wireless device based on the adjustment factor.

Abstract: A method for adaptive presence-based radio configuration of access points in a venue includes defining a number of regions in the venue in which access points are deployed, each region having a center point, and assigning a first access point to a first region, positioned at the center of the first region. The method also includes affecting a first energy level in the first region, which corresponds to a power of a transmit signal emitted by the first access point, and assigning to the first region a configurable capacity value that determines an acceptable overlap constraint between the first energy level of the first region and an energy level of a neighboring region. The method further includes generating data describing a tessellation graph in which a possible map of the access points is formed using an iterative descent process based on the first energy level and the overlap constraint.

Abstract: Preemption in wireless may be provided. Access Category (AC) parameters may be received for a preemption AC within a plurality of ACs. The preemption AC parameters may comprise a Contention Window maximum (CWmax) comprising a first predetermined value and a preemption Arbitrary Interframe Space Number (AIFSN) of less than or equal to a second predetermined value. AC parameters for others of the plurality of ACs may be received wherein a non-preemption AIFSN associated with any of the others of the plurality of ACs is greater than a sum of the first predetermined value the second predetermined value. Preemption for traffic in the preemption AC may be allowed.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method comprises first causing, by a controller device, wireless access points (APs) to allocate first non-interfering wireless channels for a prescribed reliable data service for wireless client devices in a WLAN; second causing the wireless APs to allocate a second shared channel having a bandwidth that is greater than the corresponding bandwidth of any of the first non-interfering wireless channels; allocating for each wireless client device a corresponding location service interval on the second shared channel for transmission of at least a corresponding identifiable wireless data unit for locating the corresponding wireless client device between two or more of the wireless APs; and determining a location of at least one of the wireless client devices based on reception of at least the corresponding wireless data unit between the one wireless client device and the two or more wireless APs during the corresponding location service interval.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media can determine an initial classification for a content item based on one or more non-social signals associated with the content item. It can be determined whether to monitor the content item based on the initial classification. A subsequent classification for the content item can be determined based on at least one or more social signals associated with the content item after a determination to monitor the content item.
