System and method to facilitate wireless network optimization

One or more non-transitory tangible media encoding logic that includes instructions for execution by a processor, wherein the execution causes the processor to perform operations, comprising:

• determining one or more outlier access points (APs) of a plurality of APs managed by a same service provider, wherein the determining is performed based on performance metrics calculated for each of the plurality of APs managed by the same service provider and wherein each outlier AP has a performance metric that fails to satisfy a performance metric threshold;
• identifying a Radio Frequency (RF) cluster to which each outlier AP belongs, wherein each outlier AP belongs to only one RF cluster by:
• identifying one or more neighbor APs of each outlier AP;
• creating an RF cluster that identifies neighbor(s) for each outlier AP;
• determining whether any outlier AP is a neighbor of another outlier AP;
• and
• merging any RF cluster for two or more outlier APs based on a determination that the two or more outlier APs are neighbors of each other;
• applying one or more optimization parameters to one or more APs for one or more RF clusters, wherein the optimization parameters are applied to improve performance for at least one of the one or more outlier APs;
• and
• calculating new performance metrics for the plurality of APs to determine whether any of the plurality of APs fail to satisfy the performance metric threshold after the one or more optimization parameters are applied.

An optimization system comprising:

• at least one memory element for storing data;
• and
• at least one processor for executing instructions associated with the data, wherein the executing causes the optimization system to perform operations, comprising:
• determining one or more outlier access points (APs) of a plurality of Aps managed by a same service provider, wherein the determining is performed based on performance metrics calculated for each of the plurality of APs managed by the same service provider and wherein each outlier AP has a performance metric that fails to satisfy a performance metric threshold;
• identifying a Radio Frequency (RF) cluster to which each outlier AP belongs, wherein each outlier AP belongs to only one RF cluster;
• applying one or more optimization parameters to one or more APs for one or more RF clusters, wherein the optimization parameters are applied to improve performance for at least one of the one or more outlier APs;
• calculating new performance metrics for the plurality of APs to determine whether any of the plurality of APs fail to satisfy the performance metric threshold after the one or more optimization parameters are applied;
• prioritizing a plurality of outlier APs belonging to a particular RF cluster to determine a priority value for each outlier AP belonging to the particular RF cluster;
• and
• applying one or more optimization parameters to the plurality of outlier APs based on whether the priority value for each outlier satisfies a priority threshold.
