Global and local optimization of Wi-Fi access points |
摘要 |
A method of managing Wi-Fi access points (APs) includes selecting between a global optimization and a local optimization of AP parameters based at least in part on one or more factors. The method includes causing a global optimization to be performed in the event that a global optimization is selected, the global optimization comprising: searching for adjustments to a first set of AP parameters that optimize an overall performance associated with a global region, the global region including a first set of APs. The method includes causing a local optimization to be performed in the event that a local optimization is selected, the local optimization comprising: searching for adjustments to a second set of AP parameters that optimize an overall performance associated with a localized region, the localized region including a second set of APs, wherein the second set of APs comprises a subset of the first set of APs. |

1. A method of managing Wi-Fi access points (APs), comprising:
selecting by a processor between a global optimization and a local optimization of Wi-Fi AP parameters based at least in part on one or more factors; causing a global optimization to be performed in the event that a global optimization is selected, the global optimization comprising:
searching for adjustments to a first set of Wi-Fi AP parameters that optimize an overall performance associated with a global region, the global region including a first set of APs; and causing a local optimization to be performed in the event that a local optimization is selected, the local optimization comprising:
searching for adjustments to a second set of Wi-Fi AP parameters that optimize an overall performance associated with a localized region, the localized region including a second set of APs, wherein the second set of APs comprises a subset of the first set of APs;determining a portion of the second set of APs, wherein determining a portion of the second set of APs comprises determining the portion using a heuristic, and wherein the heuristic determines the portion as the portion of the second set of APs with performance below a predetermined performance target level;searching for adjustments to Wi-Fi AP parameters corresponding to the portion of the second set of APs; andkeeping the Wi-Fi AP parameters corresponding to the remaining portion of the second set of APs unchanged. |
