Abstract
A network device may receive data for multiple wireless channels. The network device may determine an activity level or score for one or more of the wireless channels based on the received data. The network device may determine, based on the activity level for each wireless channel, a portion of the wireless channels that satisfy an activity level threshold. The network device may generate a ranking of the portion of the wireless channels that satisfy the activity level threshold. The ranking may be based on the activity level or score of each wireless channel. The network device may determine a wireless channel based on the ranking and may send an indication of the wireless channel to a user device.
Claims40
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a network device, data for a plurality of wireless channels;
- determining, based on at least a portion of the data, an activity level for each wireless channel of the plurality of wireless channels;
- determining, based on the activity level for each wireless channel of the plurality of wireless channels, a portion of the plurality of wireless channels that satisfy a zero data use activity level threshold;
- determining, based on the portion of the plurality of wireless channels satisfying the zero data use activity level threshold, that the portion of the plurality of wireless channels are not available for recommendation to a user device;
- and
- sending, to the user device, an indication of a channel of a second portion of the plurality of wireless channels.
An apparatus comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing processor-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the apparatus to:
- receive data for a plurality of wireless channels;
- determine, based on at least a portion of the data, an activity level for each wireless channel of the plurality of wireless channels;
- determine, based on the activity level for each wireless channel of the plurality of wireless channels, a portion of the plurality of wireless channels that satisfy a zero data use activity level threshold;
- determine, based on the portion of the plurality of wireless channels satisfying the zero data use activity level threshold, that the portion of the plurality of wireless channels are not available for recommendation to a user device;
- and
- send, to the user device, an indication of a channel of a second portion of the plurality of wireless channels.
One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing processor-executable instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
- receive data for a plurality of wireless channels;
- determine, based on at least a portion of the data, an activity level for each wireless channel of the plurality of wireless channels;
- determine, based on the activity level for each wireless channel of the plurality of wireless channels, a portion of the plurality of wireless channels that satisfy a zero data use activity level threshold;
- determine, based on the portion of the plurality of wireless channels satisfying the zero data use activity level threshold, that the portion of the plurality of wireless channels are not available for recommendation to a user device;
- and
- send, to the user device, an indication of a channel of a second portion of the plurality of wireless channels.
A system comprising:
- a computing device configured to:
- receive data for a plurality of wireless channels;
- determine, based on at least a portion of the data, an activity level for each wireless channel of the plurality of wireless channels;
- determine, based on the activity level for each wireless channel of the plurality of wireless channels, a portion of the plurality of wireless channels that satisfy a zero data use activity level threshold;
- determine, based on the portion of the plurality of wireless channels satisfying the zero data use activity level threshold, that the portion of the plurality of wireless channels are not available for recommendation to a user device;
- and
- send, to the user device, an indication of a channel of a second portion of the plurality of wireless channels;
- and
- the user device configured to:
- receive the indication of the channel of the second portion of the plurality of wireless channels.
