Abstract:
This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-readable media, for enhanced channel selection in a network having multiple access points (APs). The enhanced channel selection may optimize the overall performance of the network by incorporating considerations about the impact on other APs in a big-picture view of the network. In one aspect, enhanced channel selection may combine a first channel selection process at a first AP (based on first channel selection by the first AP) with a second channel selection at a Multi-AP Controller. Coordination between the first AP and the Multi-AP Controller may improve a channel selection technique to optimize channel selection based on considerations of the overall network.

Claim (Index 18):
A Multi-AP Controller of a network, comprising:\n a processor; and memory having instructions stored therein which, when executed by the processor cause the Multi-AP Controller to:\n receive a first list of channels from a first AP of the network, the first list of channels selected by the first AP based, at least in part, on a first channel selection by the first AP; \n determine a second list of channels from among the first list of channels, the second list of channels selected by the Multi-AP Controller based, at least in part, on the first list of channels; \n send, to the first AP, the second list of channels to the first AP; and \n cause the first AP to utilize a selected channel from the second list of channels.
