  • Patent number: 12542710
    Abstract: Systems and methods for optimizing a cluster of Wi-Fi networks operating within a vicinity of each other are provided. In one implementation, a method includes detecting a cluster of Wi-Fi networks operating independently of each other, where the cluster is defined in that each Wi-Fi network includes a wireless transceiver configured to receive at least a minimum amount of signal power from one or more other wireless transceivers of one or more other Wi-Fi networks of the cluster. The method includes determining a plurality of Wi-Fi networks of the cluster that are enabled for cooperative optimization. Also, the method includes assigning a Wi-Fi channel selected from a plurality of available Wi-Fi channels to each of the wireless transceivers associated with the plurality of Wi-Fi networks enabled for cooperative optimization to reduce a total amount of potential interference in the cluster caused by the signal power received from independently-operated wireless transceivers.

  • Publication number: 20250390839
    Abstract: Systems and methods for floorplan generation using models are disclosed. A system receives a request to generate a floorplan from a user device. The request includes a category placement parameter. The system also obtains a floorplan parameter from a database. The system determines, based on the category placement parameter and the floorplan parameter, the floorplan. The floorplan assigns categories to respective portions of a location represented by the floorplan. The system, in accordance with a determination that the floorplan satisfies an infeasibility criteria threshold, causes the user device to present an error notification that identifies an infeasibility error in at least one of the category placement parameter or the floorplan parameter, and requests, from the user device, at least one of an updated category placement parameter or an updated floorplan parameter.

  • Publication number: 20250344103
    Abstract: In a Wi-Fi system having three or more Wi-Fi devices operating over multiple Wi-Fi bands, implementations include forming first and second connections between first and second pairs of Wi-Fi device, respectively. A first group of channels is assigned to a first Wi-Fi device for communicating with a second Wi-Fi device via the first connection using a first set of connection channels selected from the first group of assigned channels. A second group of channels (different from the first group) is assigned to the second Wi-Fi device, where the second group of assigned channels includes at least the first set of connection channels. The second Wi-Fi device communicates with the third Wi-Fi device via the second wireless connection using a second set of connection channels selected from the second group of assigned channels. The first group of assigned channels is different from the second group of assigned channels.
