Abstract
Embodiments are directed towards collecting information regarding the implementation of dynamic frequency selection and automatic channel selection by one or more wireless communication devices. And to use the collected information to determine if other communication devices are coupled to communicate with each other via a wireless connection or a wired connection, or to modify the automatic channel selection mechanism used by one or more wireless communication devices.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- identifying a geographical area associated with a target communication device that is configured to transmit and receive wireless signals within the U-NII band and is configured to perform dynamic frequency selection;
- identifying a plurality of communication devices that are in the geographical area and that are configured to transmit and receive wireless signals within the U-NII band and that are configured to perform dynamic frequency selection;
- receiving information regarding performance of dynamic frequency selection by the plurality of communication devices;
- and
- modifying the dynamic frequency selection of the target communication device for selecting channel changes based on the received dynamic-frequency-selection-performance information.
2 more elements
A wireless communication device, comprising:
- a memory that stores computer instructions;
- one or more processors that are configured to execute the computer instructions to:
- perform dynamic frequency selection prior to wireless communications;
- receive information regarding implementation of dynamic frequency selection by other wireless communication devices proximate to the wireless communication device;
- determine, based on the received dynamic-frequency-selection-implementation information, at least one pattern of channel changes among the other wireless communication devices;
- and
- modify the dynamic frequency selection of the wireless communication device for selecting channel changes based on the at least one pattern.
4 more elements
A wireless-device configuration system, comprising:
- a memory that stores computer instructions;
- one or more processors that are configured to execute the computer instructions to:
- identify a plurality of wireless devices that are in a geographical area and that are configured to perform dynamic frequency selection;
- monitor channel selections from the plurality of wireless devices' implementation of dynamic frequency selection;
- determine, based on the monitored channel selections, at least one pattern of channel changes among the plurality of wireless devices;
- and
- modify the dynamic frequency selection of a target wireless device in the geographical area for selecting channel changes based on the at least one pattern.
