Abstract: The disclosed technology relates to a process for managing power consumption of Wi-Fi access points. The solution is composed of three parts. A first part creates power profiles for each of the switches having access points within a computer network that detail how power consumption for an access point can be modified based on changing one or more elements associated with the access point. The second part creates a time-based radio constraint profile that details power requirements for an access point based on client devices connected to the access point within a pre-defined area to ensure that each client device can connect and stay connected with the access point. The third part utilizes machine learning to generate a model that identifies optimal settings for the access point in order to achieve a specific level of power consumption for the access point.

Abstract: Presented herein are techniques that aggregate messages using a subroot node. A plurality of messages is received from a corresponding plurality of nodes by a subroot node acting as a proxy in a wireless mesh sub-network. The plurality of messages is aggregated into a single message according to a template. The single message is wireless transmitted to a root node, wherein the root node has a wired connection to a network.

Abstract: Telemetry for cloud switches queuing excursion may be provided. A first hysteresis threshold and a second hysteresis threshold for a queue of the network switch may be specified. Next, a queue position relative to the first hysteresis threshold and the second hysteresis threshold may be determined for each incoming packets for the queue. A number of crossings including the queue position passing the first hysteresis threshold and subsequently passing the second hysteresis threshold in a first predetermined time period may be determined. A number of data packets being sent to the queue of the network switch may then be altered based on one or more of the number of crossings, the first hysteresis threshold, and the second hysteresis threshold.

Abstract: A machine learning based adaptive short beacon activation (SBA) engine is described. The SBA engine provides for activating or suppressing short beacon transmission in a network cell based on total network cell effects in both airtime consumption and network flows as determined by the SBA engine. In some examples the SBA engine utilizes input parameters received from various wireless medium to evaluate the current and near future advantages and/or disadvantages of activating/suppressing short beacons.

Abstract: A method comprising obtaining, from a first wireless network characterized by a first radio access technology (RAT), a first set of wireless network policies. The first set of wireless network policies characterizes a first wireless channel provided to a client device by the first wireless network. The method includes obtaining, from a second wireless network characterized by a second RAT different from the first RAT, a second set of wireless network policies. The second set of wireless network policies characterizes a second wireless channel provided to the client device by the second wireless network. The method includes generating a set of aggregated policies by aggregating the first and second sets of wireless network policies based on one or more aggregation criteria. The method includes providing the set of aggregated policies. The set of aggregated policies directs the client device to steer traffic to the first and second wireless networks.

Abstract: Virtual reality for network configuration may be provided. First, topology data corresponding to a network may be received. Next, a Virtual Reality (VR) representation of the network may be displayed on a VR user interface device based on the received topology data. Changes to the network may be received from a user through the VR user interface device. Effects on behavior of the network that would result in response to the received changes may then be displayed in the VR representation of the network on the VR user interface device.

Abstract: Steering for location-assisted inter-set roaming, between different networks of the same or different types is provided by: identifying a first station connected to a first wireless network in an environment; identifying a direction of travel of the first station; identifying a second wireless network and a third wireless network as candidate roaming targets, based on the second wireless network and the third wireless network neighboring the first wireless network in the direction of travel, wherein the second wireless network and the third wireless network are different from the first wireless network; modifying a neighbor list for the first station to include an Access Point (AP) included in the third wireless network based on environmental knowledge; removing APs included in the second wireless network based on the environmental knowledge; and transmitting the neighbor list to the first station.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a supervisory service for a wireless network receives telemetry data indicative of client movement of wireless clients of the network within a location. The service determines a measure of client movement stability for the location, based on the received telemetry data. The service selects one or more of the clients for wireless access point reassignment, when the determined measure of client movement stability exceeds a predefined threshold. The service causes the selected one or more clients to switch from a first wireless access point at the location to a second wireless access point at the location.

Abstract: Roaming Consortium Identifier (RCOI)-based handling of identity requirements may be provided. First, an access device may advertise an identifier. The identifier may identify a roaming federation and an identity type used by a service provider in order to provide service by the access device. Next, a request to associate with the access device may be received from a user device. The request may be compliant with the identity type advertised in the identifier. The user device may then be associated with the access device in response to receiving the request.
