CHANNEL ALLOCATION IN WIRELESS LOCAL AREA NETWORK - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18045638 titled 'CHANNEL ALLOCATION IN WIRELESS LOCAL AREA NETWORK
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for allocating channels to access points based on channel and location metrics, reducing performance impact on other access points.
- Network manager determines weights of APs based on channel and location metrics.
- First set of APs identified based on weights and allocated dedicated first channels.
- Second set of APs identified based on weights and allocated second channels for sharing.
- Performance impact on second set of APs reduced as they do not share channels with the first set.
Potential Applications
The technology can be applied in wireless network management systems to optimize channel allocation and improve overall network performance.
Problems Solved
1. Efficient channel allocation to reduce interference and improve network performance. 2. Minimizing performance impact on access points by allocating dedicated channels.
Benefits
1. Enhanced network performance and reliability. 2. Improved user experience with reduced interference. 3. Optimal utilization of available channels for better coverage.
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimizing channel allocation in large-scale wireless networks for enterprises, public spaces, and residential areas.
Possible Prior Art
There may be prior art related to channel allocation algorithms in wireless networks, but specific details are not provided in the abstract.
Unanswered Questions
How does the method determine the weights of APs based on channel and location metrics?
The abstract does not delve into the specific algorithms or techniques used to calculate the weights of access points.
What criteria are used to identify the first and second sets of APs for channel allocation?
The abstract does not elaborate on the exact criteria or parameters used to differentiate between the first and second sets of access points.
Original Abstract Submitted
An example method of allocating channels to access points (AP) is presented. A network manager may determine weights of the APs based on a channel metric and a location metric for APs. Further, the network manager may identify a first set of APs based on the weights and allocate a dedicated first channel to each of the first set of APs for its sole use. Accordingly, each of the first set of APs may use a respective dedicated first channel thereby reducing the performance impact on other APs. Further, the network manager may identify a second set of APs based on the weights and allocate second channels for sharing among the second set of APs. Since the second set of APs does not share any channel with the first set of APs, the performance of the second set of APs may not be impacted due to the first set of APs.
