Intelligent Selection of Operating Parameters for a Wireless Access Point

摘要

Aspects of the disclosure are directed toward intelligently selecting the operating parameters of wireless access points (WAPs) deployed in a wireless environment so as to minimize or at least reduce interference in that wireless environment. A WAP may continually measure characteristics of wireless channels used in the wireless environment and obtain measurements of channel metrics for those channels. The WAP analyzes the channel metric history to identify correlations between the channel metric measurements and various timeframes and selects one or more of its operating parameters based on the channel metric history and the correlations identified.

1. A method comprising:
measuring, during a plurality of measurement periods, a metric associated with individual channels of a radio frequency band to obtain, for each one of the measurement periods, a set of channel metric measurements; identifying, for each channel measured, a correlation between the metric and a timeframe based on the set of channel metric measurements; and selecting a value for an operating parameter of a wireless access point based on the correlation.
