Abstract: Systems and methods for managing a network are disclosed. One method can comprise causing transmission of a first beacon and a second beacon associated with available networks.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for managing wireless communications of multiple wireless devices sharing a wireless communication medium. Noise of the wireless communication medium may be monitored and compared to one or more patterns associated with wireless communications of the wireless devices sharing the wireless communication medium. Based on a feature of the one or more patterns being detected in the noise of the wireless communication medium, a wireless communication attempt may be determined and a power level of the wireless communication medium may be reduced to allow wireless communications to be received.

Abstract: Described herein are systems, methods, and apparatuses for determining an optimal path in a mesh network. A pre-emptive message, such as a request to send (RTS) message, carrying, for example, an address of a target mobile device, may be sent from an access point to a computing device in a mesh network. The computing device may relay the RTS to the target mobile device. A clear to send (CTS) message and transmission parameters indicating channel conditions may be transmitted from the target mobile device to the access point via the computing device. The access point may determine an optimal path based on the transmission parameters and send data via the optimal path.

Abstract: Methods and systems are described for generating and utilizing a pattern of association. The pattern of association can comprise information that indicates to which of a plurality of network devices one or more mobile devices are likely to connect. The pattern of association can comprise information that indicates an order of association. The pattern of association can be associated with one or more factors which can be any information that provides insight into the pattern of association. The pattern of association can be used to identify a next network device that a mobile device will transition to, based on which network device the mobile device is currently connected to. Data, such as authentication information, can be pushed to the identified next network device to reduce network connectivity issues that may occur by transitioning between network devices.
