Abstract
The subject disclosure provides systems and methods for improved signal strength determination for wireless communication. A client device may determine a signal strength, corresponding to a network connection to an access point, by using one or more beacons received over a first channel having a first channel width and data received over a second channel having a second channel width.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- at a first device:
- receiving, from a second device, a beacon over a first channel having a first channel width;
- receiving data from the second device over a second channel having a second channel width different from the first channel width;
- determining, based at least on the beacon and the data, a signal strength corresponding to the second device;
- and
- operating in accordance with the determined signal strength.
3 more elements
A device, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- one or more processors configured to:
- receive, from an other device, a beacon over a first channel having a first channel width;
- receive data from the other device over a second channel having a second channel width different from the first channel width;
- determine, based at least on the beacon and the data, a signal strength corresponding to the other device;
- and
- operate in accordance with the determined signal strength.
5 more elements
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- at a first device:
- receiving, from a second device, a beacon over a first channel having a first channel width;
- receiving data from the second device over a second channel having a second channel width different from the first channel width;
- determining, based at least on the beacon and the data, a signal strength corresponding to the second device;
- and
- operating in accordance with the determined signal strength.
