  • Publication number: 20210385220
    Abstract: Operation of a wireless network access point (AP) to communicate with a first set of one or more wireless client devices using a wireless protocol in which spatial reuse of channels is supported via at least a dynamically configurable basic service set (BSS) identifier of the wireless AP. The BSS identifier is utilized to identify overlapping BSSs (OBSSs). A first set of one or more wireless client devices communicate using a wireless protocol in which spatial reuse of channels is supported via at least a dynamically configurable BSS identifier of the wireless AP. The BSS identifier is utilized to identify OBSSs. Unauthorized network activity is detected based on the BSS identifier and a received BSS identifier associated with the received transmissions. A dynamic adjustment is made to one of the BSS identifiers of the AP or the received BSS identifier in response to detected unauthorized network activity.

  • Patent number: 11191026
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for increasing power save efficiency of stations within a wireless communications network. An access point (AP) can receive one or more session requests to establish a session from a station, each session request including one or more requested session parameters. The AP can set the session parameters to ensure that a session period of each requested session does not overlap two or more target beacon transmission time (TBTT) frames. The AP can merge two or more session periods of the one or more sessions by calculating a session period offset to align the end time of two or more session periods. Merging the two or more session periods minimizes the total wake time of the station.

  • Patent number: 11184824
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for upgrading wireless network devices, such as access points (APs). When a first AP needs an upgrade, a network controller of the first AP may identify and select a neighbor AP. The radio(s) of the neighbor AP can be split into multiple logical radios, at least one of which includes a backup virtual AP (VAP). The backup VAP can support client devices originally supported by the first AP, allowing those client devices to roam to the neighbor AP while the first AP is upgrading, and without needing to re-associate with the neighbor AP. From the client device perspective, it appears as though they are still being supported by the first AP. Upon upgrading the first AP, the client devices can roam back to the first AP (without needing to re-associate with the first AP). No downtime is experienced, and no RF holes are generated.
