Remote Channel Selection

摘要

A web-based radio survey service is provided to client devices. The client devices individually conduct a radio survey. The radio surveys are sent to a central server for analysis. The central server evaluates the radio surveys and determines a least congested radio channel for common use by all the client devices. The client devices may thus all switch to the least congested radio channel to ensure reliable radio service with an access device.

1. A method, comprising:
receiving, at a server, multiple radio surveys having a common association to a controller of a security system, each radio survey of the multiple radio surveys conducted by a different wireless sensor associated with the controller of the security system, the each radio survey of the multiple radio surveys containing survey data of radio channels reserved for wireless local area networks; determining, by the server, multiple interference scores, each one of the multiple interference scores associated with a different radio channel of the radio channels reserved for the wireless local area networks; comparing, by the server, the multiple interference scores to determine a lowest interference score having a lowest numeric value; selecting, by the server, a radio channel associated with the lowest interference score, the radio channel having a least congestion of the radio channels reserved for the wireless local area networks.
