SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SELECTING WIRELESS FIDELITY (WI-FI) CHANNEL FOR MITIGATING INTERFERENCES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18084963 titled 'SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SELECTING WIRELESS FIDELITY (WI-FI) CHANNEL FOR MITIGATING INTERFERENCES
Simplified Explanation
The patent application relates to a method for selecting Wi-Fi channels to reduce interference by detecting nearby access points, determining signal strength, and calculating weighted parameters to select the best channel for communication.
- The method detects nearby access points using an access point detector module.
- It determines the minimum RSSI value to assess signal strength.
- Congestion information from nearby devices is obtained by a peer congestion observer module.
- At least one weighted parameter is calculated to select the preferred channel for creating a hotspot by a channel selector module.

Original Abstract Submitted
Certain example embodiments relate to a method for selecting wireless ridelity (Wi-Fi) channel for mitigating and/or reducing interference, wherein the method may detect the presence of nearby access points and determine the number of access points by an access point detector module. The method may determine the minimum value of received signal strength indicator (RSSI) by the access point detector module, and may determine the congestion information from the nearby devices by a peer congestion observer module. Furthermore, the method may calculate at least one weighted parameter and select a preferred channel to create a hotspot for communication by a channel selector module.
