    摘要: The disclosure concerns a communication system where adaptive antenna systems with algorithm are used to provide improved channel selection management in Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) and other multi-node communication systems. The adaptive antenna systems can be integrated into multiple nodes of a communication network, such as access points used in WLAN, and multiple radiation modes generated and tracked to determine optimal mode for access point to client communication links to assist in channel selection across the nodes in the network. Adaptive antenna system modes are selected and Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) is measured across available frequency channels to determine channels to assign per access point along with radiation modes to be implemented that results in improved SNR for the communication links established in the network.

    摘要: Many network devices initially connect to a network using a wireless frequency band that may not provide the best network performance. A wireless management module can determine that a network device, such as a mobile phone, is connected to the wireless network using an inferior wireless frequency band, for example, the 2.4 GHz wireless frequency band, even though a superior wireless frequency band, for example, the 5 GHz wireless frequency band is available or accessible. Based on a device setting, the wireless management module can automatically switch the mobile network device to the higher frequency wireless frequency band without requiring any user intervention. Additionally, or in the alternative, the wireless management module can prompt the user to allow switching to a different wireless frequency band. Switching to the higher frequency band improves network performance for the network device.
