  • Patent number: 10602462
    Abstract: Mitigating channel congestion, or crowding, that degrades the performance capabilities of a venue-provided access point, or hotspot, can include identifying, with a mobile communication device, the venue-provided access point. Additionally, mitigating channel congestion can also include establishing a mobile hotspot with the mobile communication device. The mobile communication device can establish the mobile hotspot on a channel different from a channel used by the venue-provided access point. Mitigating channel congestion can also include reducing a signal radius of the mobile communication device by reducing transmission power of the mobile communication device.
