Multi-mode dynamic frequency selection system

A method comprising:

• determining, by a computing system of a communication interface, a first number of radar events detected by a first wireless access point (WAP) device of a wireless mesh network (WMN), a second number of radar events detected by a second WAP device of the WMN, and a third number of radar events detected by a third WAP device of the WMN;
• determining, by the computing system, that the first number of radar events is lower than the second number of radar events and lower than the third number of radar events;
• determining, by the computing system using per-channel data transfer rate (DTR) for the first WAP device, that a first dynamic frequency selection (DFS) channel of multiple channels of the first WAP device has detected a fewest number of radar events compared to the number of radar events detected via each other DFS channel of the multiple channels of the first WAP device;
• assigning the first WAP device to be a master on the first DFS channel;
• and
• transmitting, by the computing system to the first WAP device using the communication interface, a message comprising information that the first WAP device is the master on the first DFS channel.

A method comprising:

• determining, by a processing device over a communication interface:
• a latency requirement associated with applications of client wireless devices, which wirelessly connect to wireless access point (WAP) devices of a wireless mesh network (WMN);
• and
• a number of radar events detected by respective WAP devices and by multiple dynamic frequency selection (DFS) channels associated with respective WAP devices;
• determining, by the processing device using the latency requirements, a first WAP device of the WMN that serves a greatest number of latency-sensitive applications;
• determining, by the processing device using the number of radar events, that a first DFS channel of the first WAP device has detected a fewest number of radar events as compared with a number of radar events detected via each of the multiple DFS channels of the first WAP device;
• assign, to the first WAP device, usage of the first DFS channel for the latency-sensitive applications;
• and
• transmitting, to the first WAP device using a communication interface, a message comprising information that the first WAP device is assigned the first DFS channel over which to serve the latency-sensitive applications.
