Systems and methods for optimizing channels using WI-FI 7

A computer-implemented method when executed on data processing hardware causes the data processing hardware to perform operations comprising:

• setting an initial transmission channel for a transmission radio between a station and an access point;
• setting an initial listen channel for a listen radio between the station and the access point;
• obtaining a channel state report based on data related to the transmission radio and the listen radio;
• determining cleanliness data and free channel data based on the channel state report;
• if the cleanliness data indicates the transmission radio is cleaner than the listen radio, maintaining the initial transmission channel and the initial listen channel;
• if the cleanliness data indicates the listen radio is cleaner than the transmission radio, switching transmission from the transmission radio to the listen radio;
• if the free channel data indicates aggregate channel free times are similar between the transmission radio and the listen radio, maintaining the initial transmission channel and the initial listen channel;
• and
• if the free channel data indicates the aggregate channel free times are dissimilar between the transmission radio and the listen radio, changing the initial transmission channel to a different channel.

• setting an initial listen channel for a listen radio between the station and the access point;
• obtaining cleanliness data and free channel data;
• performing one of maintaining the initial transmission channel and the initial listen channel or switching transmission from the transmission radio to the listen radio based on the cleanliness data;
• and
• performing one of maintaining the initial transmission channel and the initial listen channel or changing the initial transmission channel to a different channel based on the free channel data.
