Publication number: 20220408441Abstract: In environments such as buildings in which access points are densely deployed, those access points influence each other. To provide a frequency channel allocation scheme in such densely populated environments information gathered by the access points are collected. In such a situation, relying on a list of neighboring access points, background noise, communication medium business, the beacon messages received from access points as well as their associated RSSI, may lead to a frequency channel allocation scheme that may not significantly reduce the interference between access points. The invention introduces an activity-based distance computed between at least two access points which represents a time overlap in a use of the communication medium.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 30, 2022Publication date: December 22, 2022Applicant: AIRTIES BELGIUM SPRLInventors: Olivier JEUNEN, Patrick BOSCH, Ensar ZELJKOVIC, Karel VAN DOORSELAER, Nick GODMAN

Publication number: 20220007223Abstract: A method for analyzing a wireless link (3) of a wireless node of a customer premises equipment (CPE) device (1) during operation of the CPE device comprises: performing an active test, during which a data transmission is forced through the wireless link, to obtain a first set of parameters, and performing before or after the active test a passive test, which is a monitoring ode during which a data transmission of the CPE device is monitored, to obtain a second set of parameters. In particular, based on the first set of parameters, it is determined whether and to which extent the wireless link is in an uncertainty zone, and based on the second set of parameters, the decision is made to assign an observed decrease in a measured data rate to physics effects or to interference effects.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 21, 2021Publication date: January 6, 2022Applicant: AIRTIES BELGIUM SPRLInventors: Karel Van Doorselaer, Stuart Timms, Koen Van Oost
