Publication number: 20240147245Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 31, 2022Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: Jerome Henry, Robert Edgar Barton, Fred Jay Anderson, Matthew Aaron Silverman, John Matthew Swartz, Joshua D.
