Distributed Method for Client Optimization

Abstract

The present disclosure discloses a distributed method and network device for providing client optimization in WLANs. Specifically, a first access point detects a plurality of client devices. The first access point also receives information identifying a first set of client devices associated with the second access point. Then first access point then identifies a subset of the detected plurality of client devices that are also identified in the first set of client devices associated with the second access point. Finally, the first access point transmits to the second access point characteristics corresponding to the subset of the plurality of client devices. The characteristics are determined based on wireless signals received by the first access point from the subset of the plurality of client devices.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
