摘要:
According to one embodiment of the invention, a system for providing a dynamic user-customizable beacon information element (IE) is described. One embodiment of the system comprises an access point comprising a hardware processor wherein the system is configured to perform operations comprising: periodically transmitting, by an access point, a first beacon frame comprising a plurality of IEs, based on user input, configuring at least one IE of the plurality of IEs in the first beacon frame, modifying the at least one IE in the first beacon frame based at least on the user input to obtain a second beacon frame comprising a modified IE based on the user input and periodically transmitting, by the access point, the second beacon frame comprising the modified IE.
摘要:
System and methods are provided for dynamically setting a threshold signal-to-noise ratio for probe requests for one or more access points in a wireless network based on several factors, including density/distance between access points and/or current and expected load on access points. By dynamically adjusting a threshold signal-to-noise for probe requests, the systems and methods described herein may efficiently utilize resources based on current and/or expected conditions. In particular, an access point may ignore client device probe requests when another access point may be better positioned to handle such a request and/or when the access point would be unable to meet expected load requirements if such an associate were made.
摘要:
A method is described for dynamically assigning tasks to entities of different types within a network system based on preferences to perform the tasks on particular entities and/or network/device conditions. This ability to dynamically assign processing of tasks between disparate devices in a network system provides a more efficient network configuration and utilization of resources while not compromising throughput, overall network security, and/or network flexibility.

A method includes steering client devices to access points that potentially increase capacity of communications using beamformed transmissions. In particular, this includes determining the best access points for beamforming to a particular client or a group of clients in the network for an improved throughput performance in the deployment or a subset of access points.
摘要:
A method includes determining an optimized channel width between client devices and access points based on network conditions in a wireless network. In particular, the channel widths may be optimized to reduce airtime usage on access points and eliminate a high density condition while the client devices are steered to access points that provide the greatest channel capacity gains based on signal-to-noise-ratios for each spatial stream in a beamformed transmission.
