Abstract:
1. In a wireless computing environment including one or more nodes configured to communicate wirelessly, the computing environment being susceptible to interference such that wireless nodes may experience interference-related communication problems, a method of mitigating wireless communication problems between nodes, the method comprising: at a local node in the network, obtaining control data for a remote node in the network from the remote node, wherein the control data includes processed RF spectrum interference-related information corresponding to interference at the remote node, wherein the remote node provides the control data as a result of: receiving a first registration request from a pluggable application component; sending a list of classifiers that have previously registered with a communication service at the local node to the pluggable application component; receiving a second registration request from the pluggable application component requesting to register for specific classifiers and data formats, and providing the remotely-obtained control data to the pluggable application component at the local node using the data formats identified in the second registration request from the pluggable application component, wherein the pluggable application component determines actions related to mitigating problems caused by interference, and wherein mitigation actions determined at the local node are extensible dependent on what pluggable application components are installed at the local node.
