Patent number: 11653417Abstract: Example implementations relate to upgrading access points (APs). In some examples, a primary AP may comprise a processing resource and a memory resource storing machine readable instructions to determine, in response to receiving a data transmission from a secondary AP, whether an image version of the secondary AP and a class of the secondary AP are a same image version and class as the primary AP, determine whether the class of the secondary AP is a same class as a seed AP, and instruct the secondary AP, in response to the seed AP being the same class as the secondary AP, to upgrade the image version of the secondary AP from the seed AP.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2021Date of Patent: May 16, 2023Assignee: Hewlett Packard Enterprise Development LPInventors: Jikui Pei, Yan Liu

Patent number: 10893418Abstract: Embodiments are directed to access point deployment in a network including a centralized system and a distributed system. An embodiment of an apparatus includes a memory and a processor executing instructions stored in the memory. The instructions include instructions to receive a message from an access point (AP) requesting a role in a network and, based on reception of the message, to access a deployment policy. The instructions further include instructions to determine whether the deployment policy is defined for the AP and, based on a determination that the deployment policy is defined for the AP, to assign the role to the AP corresponding to the deployment policy and corresponding to at least one of a centralized system or a distributed system of the network.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2018Date of Patent: January 12, 2021Assignee: Hewlett Packard Enterprise Development LPInventors: Hsiu-Wei Liu, Jikui Pei, Ben Dunsbergen, Rajini Balay
