Distributed method for client optimization

摘要

The present disclosure discloses a distributed method and network device for providing client optimization in WLANs. Specifically, a first access point detects a plurality of client devices. The first access point also receives information identifying a first set of client devices associated with the second access point. Then first access point then identifies a subset of the detected plurality of client devices that are also identified in the first set of client devices associated with the second access point. Finally, the first access point transmits to the second access point characteristics corresponding to the subset of the plurality of client devices. The characteristics are determined based on wireless signals received by the first access point from the subset of the plurality of client devices.

1. A first access point comprising:
a memory; one or more processors to:
identify a first set of client devices associated with the first access point, wherein the first access point is in a cluster of access points;receive information identifying a second set of client devices associated with a second and different access point in the cluster of access points;identify a first subset of the first set of client devices such that each client device in the first subset also belongs to the second set of client devices associated with the second access point;determining characteristics corresponding to the first subset of the first set of client devices based on wireless signals received by the first access point from the subset of the first set of client devices; andtransmit to the second access point the characteristics corresponding to the first subset of the first set of client devices.
