Abstract: A management server for managing a population of wireless access point devices by detecting out-of-band interference to the operation of the wireless access point Wi-Fi networks caused by LTE small cell devices such as macrocells and femtocells. A flow processor monitors the characteristics of data flows of devices connected to the wireless access point to determine whether they are LTE cells based on MAC address matching or the termination of a flow at a known mobile network operator gateway. A mitigation action to change the operational behavior of the wireless access point is then generated and applied to mitigate the effect of the detected interference device on the Wi-Fi network. The management server further determines, using a data store containing the location of the wireless access points, whether other wireless access points will be affected by the presence of the interference device and sends mitigation actions to potentially affected devices.

Abstract: There is herein provided a provided a method of wireless sensing that can include, at a transmitter which is a component of a transceiver device, transmitting a wireless signal such that the transmitted wireless signal is scattered by an object so as to produce a scattered signal, at a receiver which is a component of the transceiver device, receiving the scattered signal, performing processing on the wireless signal before it is transmitted and/or on the received scattered signal, the processing including an indication of self-coupling occurring at the transceiver device, following the processing, using the received signal to determine information relating to the object, the information including one or more of: a location of the object; a direction of movement of the object; or a speed of the object.

Abstract: There is herein disclosed a method of determining a working communication channel for use by a first access point in a WLAN, the method including making one or more performance measurements in respect of a communication channel at a proxy access point in the WLAN, the proxy access point being different to the first access point, and using the one or more performance measurements to determine a working communication channel for use by a first access point.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for processing local area network diagnostic data obtained in respect of a local area network (LAN). The method includes identifying, from local area network diagnostic data obtained in respect of the LAN, a set of data units including a first and an associated second data unit having a predetermined relationship; updating the first data unit of the set to include an indication that the associated second data unit of the set has been identified; and sending the updated first data unit without the associated second data unit from the LAN for performance analysis at a remote network diagnostic device outside the LAN.

Abstract: In hybrid access broadband systems, bandwidth provided via a Digital Subscriber Line or cable broadband link is supplemented with bandwidth provided by a Long Term Evolution cellular data link. A user device having both wireless local area network and LTE network access is used to simulate an LTE modem. The performance of a data connection to the LTE network and a home gateway via a WLAN is measured at various locations within the user premises. The results are processed to determine the hybrid access benefit provided at the various locations and a recommended location for installation of the LTE modem is determined for the user premises.

Abstract: In a system formed of user devices, a home access point routing device connected to an Internet Service Provider, performance issues such as contention and interference on the home network can be determined. The home access point is arranged to monitor IP Flow information for data sessions between user devices and remote servers over a wireless or powerline Ethernet home network and performance issues are determined by the home access point or by a management server.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for processing local area network diagnostic data obtained in respect of a local area network. The method includes calculating a value for each of a plurality of data units according to a predetermined function of one or more field-values stored in the data unit; identifying a first and second data unit as being similar in dependence on a comparison of their respective values, the second data unit having at least one field-value which differs from a corresponding field-value of the first data unit; in response to such an identification, creating a third data unit containing a field-value indicative of the first data unit and an indication of the at least one field-value which differs from the corresponding field-value in the first data unit; and sending the first and third data units for performance analysis at a remote network diagnostic device outside the LAN.
