    Abstract: Dynamic spectrum access mode based on station capabilities is provided by categorizing functionalities of Access Points (APs) and mobile stations (STA) in a wireless network; identifying interference induced by external signaling devices on channels in the wireless network; calculating an impact factor of the interference based on proximity of the external signaling devices to the wireless network, a pattern of the external signaling devices, and an extent of overlap with frequencies used by the external signaling devices and the wireless network; and in response to identifying a given STA that is paired with a given AP in the wireless network, wherein the given STA and the given AP are both categorized as being capable of both multilink communications and preamble puncturing, assigning network resources for the given STA to communicate with the given AP via one of multilink communications or preamble puncturing based on the impact factor of the interference.

    Abstract: Flexible radio assignment with beamsteering antennas is provided by controlling a plurality of Access Points (APs) including steerable antennas to each transmit a first plurality of discovery frames at a first beamwidth; controlling the plurality of APs to steer the steerable antennas at a second beamwidth, less than the first beamwidth, to a plurality of steering angles; controlling the plurality of APs to each transmit a second plurality of discovery frames at each steering angle of the plurality of steering angles; determining an overlap in radio coverage among the plurality of APs based on the first plurality and the second plurality of discovery frames; and identifying redundant radios based on the overlap in radio coverage; and reassigning the redundant radios from use for client transmissions to a secondary role.
