Abstract:

This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatuses for channel selection and channel selection planning in a network including a root AP (RAP) and a number of satellite APs (SAPs). The root AP may assign operating channels for one or more of the satellite APs in a manner that optimizes network performance by considering the impact that each of the satellite APs (as well as their respective client devices) may have on the network. In some implementations, the root AP may provide centralized channel selection planning for the network based a number of network parameters observed by one or more of the satellite APs. The network parameters may include, for example, channel conditions, traffic loads, traffic patterns, service needs of client devices, available channels, and other network utilization information observed by one or more of the satellite APs.
