Devices, systems, and methods for predicting communication channel conditions

A method of a wireless device, comprising:

• tracking geographical locations of the wireless device and time associated with the wireless device;
• accessing channel map data comprising a predicted channel condition value for each of a plurality of Wi-Fi channels within each of a plurality of geographical locations during a plurality of time periods of day;
• and
• using the channel map data, selecting one of the plurality of Wi-Fi channels for communication based on a geographical location of the wireless device and a time of day associated with the wireless device, wherein the selecting of the one of the plurality of Wi-Fi channels comprises using the channel map data, determining that a first predicted condition value of a first Wi-Fi channel within a first geographical location during a first time period of day is greater than a second predicted condition value of a second Wi-Fi channel within the first geographical location during the first time period of day, and responsive to the determination, switching from using the first Wi-Fi channel for communication to using a second Wi-Fi channel for communication, wherein the switching from using the first Wi-Fi channel for communication to using the second Wi-Fi channel for communication is initiated prior to entering the first geographical location.
