Abstract
Examples of techniques for optimizing Neighbour Report (NR) are disclosed. In an example, a first virtual access point (VAP) operating in a 2.4 Giga Hertz (GHz) or 5 GHz band may determine a first Service Set Identifier (SSID) of the first VAP operating in a 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz band. The first VAP may identify a set of co-located VAPs operating in a 6 GHz band. The first VAP may filter the set of co-located VAPs to obtain a neighbour list comprising a second VAP, from the set, having a second SSID identical to the first SSID. Using the neighbour list, the first VAP may generate a Neighbour Report.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- determining, by a first virtual access point (VAP) operating in a 2.4 Giga Hertz (GHz) or 5 GHz band, a first Service Set Identifier (SSID) of the first VAP;
- identifying, by the first VAP, a set of co-located VAPs operating in a 6 GHz band;
- filtering, by the first VAP, the set of co-located VAPs to obtain a neighbour list comprising a second VAP, from the set, having a second SSID identical to the first SSID;
- and
- generating, by the first VAP, a Neighbour Report (NR) using the neighbour list.
An access point (AP) comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory coupled to the processor, the memory storing instructions executable by the processor to:
- determine a first Service Set Identifier (SSID) of a first virtual access point (VAP) operating in a 2.4 Gigs Hertz (GHz) or 5 GHz band;
- identify a set of co-located VAPs operating in a 6 GHz band;
- filter the set of co-located VAPs to obtain a neighbour list comprising a second VAP, from the set, having a second SSID identical to the first SSID;
- and
- generate a Neighbour Report (NR) using the neighbour list.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising computer-readable instructions, the computer-readable instructions when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
- determine a first Service Set Identifier (SSID) of a first virtual access point (VAP) operating in a 2.4 Giga Hertz (GHz) or 5 GHz band;
- identify a set of co-located VAPs operating in a 6 GHz band;
- filter the set of co-located VAPs to obtain a neighbour list comprising a second VAP, from the set, having a second SSID identical to the first SSID;
- and
- generate a Neighbour Report (NR) using the neighbour list.
