Abstract:
Infrastructure-based client management uses synthesized beacon reports to effect client association with APs in a wireless digital network. Beacon reports are synthesized by having a plurality of APs in the network collect client reports and send those reports to a report process on the network. The report process accumulates client reports from the plurality of APs and selects one or more candidate APs to support a client. Selection may be made on reported SNR, AP loading, channel loading, AP characteristics, or a combination. The report process may produce blacklists and optionally whitelists for use by APs to use in processing client probe and connection requests.

Claim (Index 31):
A non-transitory machine readable medium comprising instructions which, when executed by at least one hardware processor on a network device, causes performance of operations comprising:\n collecting from a plurality of access points in a wireless local area network (WLAN) client data for a particular client device, the client data comprising at least a set of time-weighted signal strength values for a plurality of wireless signals received from the particular client device by a respective access point in the plurality of access points; aggregating the client data for the particular client device collected from the plurality of access points in the WLAN; selecting at least one access point from the plurality of access points to provide network access to the particular client device based on the set of time-weighted signal strength values in the client data, wherein the selected at least one access point having received from the particular client device a wireless signal with a signal strength value above a predetermined threshold within a predetermined time period; instructing the at least one access point to provide the network access to the particular client device; and instructing a subset of the plurality of access points that does not include the at least one access point to refrain from responding to connection requests received from the particular client device.
