  • Publication number: 20250071011
    Abstract: A system and method for mitigating anomalies in a network device. One or a combination of mitigation actions may be pre-programmed into a plurality of customer premises equipment (CPE) devices. The mitigation actions may be available as temporary or permanent work arounds as problems are detected that match known or discovered patterns of log events. Unsupervised machine learning techniques may be used to identify and correlate new patterns of log events with device anomalies or malfunctions. When a new pattern of log events is discovered and correlated to an anomaly or malfunction in a group of CPE devices, the discovered pattern may be written to the group of CPE devices with instructions to use particular ones of the mitigation actions. The CPE devices can then, in examples, monitor their own logs to detect the patterns and implement one or more of the mitigation actions.

  • Patent number: 11848717
    Abstract: A method for profiling the performance of a wireless local area network may include receiving, from a wireless access point (WAP), measurements associated with client devices in a wireless local area network (WLAN), and identifying a dominance of the client devices in the WLAN. The method may further include classifying the received measurements into categories representing channel qualities with the client devices in the WLAN, and transforming the categories of the client devices into values. The method may further include determining a profile of the WLAN based on the values and the dominance of the client devices.
