Abstract: Techniques for automated network adjustment are provided. A first data rate currently supported by a first access point is determined, and a second data rate is identified to be evaluated. A first sensor device of a plurality of sensor devices is identified, where a signal strength between the first sensor device and the first access point exceeds a predefined threshold. A first packet error rate is determined for communications between the first sensor device and the first access point using the first data rate, and a second packet error rate is determined for communications between the first sensor device and the first access point using the second data rate. Upon determining that the second packet error rate is lower than the first packet error rate, the first access point is automatically reconfigured to use the second data rate.

Abstract: Techniques herein facilitate dynamic configuration of a wireless local area network (WLAN) for large public venue (LPV) environments. In one example, a method may include providing an initial configuration for access points APs of a WLAN for an event at an LPV based on a profile for the event, a location of each AP for the venue, and anticipated demand at the APs; determining, for a particular time for the event, a distribution of wireless devices and channel support capabilities of the wireless devices different locations for the LPV; and providing an updated configuration for one or more APs at the one or more locations for the venue based on the distribution of the wireless devices and the channel support capabilities of the wireless devices determined for the particular time for the event at the LPV.

Abstract: Techniques for wireless network management are provided. A set of characteristics data for a plurality of different wireless networks in a common physical space is collected, and it is determined, based on the set of characteristics data, that the plurality of wireless networks are experiencing spectrum contention. A set of radio frequency (RF) parameter modifications is generated based on the set of characteristics data, and one or more of the plurality of wireless networks are instructed to implement the set of RF parameter modifications. A second set of characteristics data is collected for the plurality of wireless networks.

Abstract: A method for adaptive presence-based radio configuration of access points in a venue includes defining a number of regions in the venue in which access points are deployed, each region having a center point, and assigning a first access point to a first region, positioned at the center of the first region. The method also includes affecting a first energy level in the first region, which corresponds to a power of a transmit signal emitted by the first access point, and assigning to the first region a configurable capacity value that determines an acceptable overlap constraint between the first energy level of the first region and an energy level of a neighboring region. The method further includes generating data describing a tessellation graph in which a possible map of the access points is formed using an iterative descent process based on the first energy level and the overlap constraint.
