Abstract
In some examples, a method includes estimating a signal-to-interference-plus noise ratio (SINR) value between a wireless client and each Access Point (AP) of a plurality of APs based on Channel State Information (CSI) between the wireless client and each AP of the plurality of APs and selecting an AP of the plurality of APs to be associated with the wireless client based on a channel bandwidth of the wireless client and the estimated SINR value between the wireless client and each AP of the plurality of APs.
Claims15
A method comprising:
- estimating a signal-to-interference-plus noise ratio (SINR) value between a wireless client and each Access Point (AP) of a plurality of APs based on Channel State Information (CSI) between the wireless client and each AP of the plurality of APs;
- and
- selecting an AP of the plurality of APs to be associated with the wireless client based on a channel bandwidth of the wireless client and the estimated SINR value between the wireless client and each AP of the plurality of APs.
A non-transitory machine readable storage medium having stored thereon machine readable instructions to cause a computer processor to:
- select an Access Point (AP) of a plurality of APs to be assigned to a wireless client based on a channel bandwidth of the wireless client and an estimated signal-to-interference-plus noise ratio (SINR) value between the wireless client and each AP of the plurality of APs;
- and
- send instructions to the selected AP to assign itself to the wireless client.
A wireless controller comprising:
- a processing resource;
- and
- a memory resource storing machine readable instructions to cause the processing resource to:
- receive Channel State Information (CSI) data between an Access Point (AP) within a set of APs and each wireless client within a set of wireless clients;
- estimate a signal-to-interference-plus noise ratio (SINR) value between each AP within the set of APs and each wireless client within the set of wireless clients;
- select APs to be assigned to one or more wireless clients within the set of wireless clients based on the estimated SINR values;
- and
- instruct each selected AP to assign with its respective one or more wireless clients.
