Abstract
Systems and methods for wireless network deployment are provided. Aspects include scanning, by a network controller, a plurality of wireless channels to determine an energy level for each channel in the plurality of wireless channels. Selecting a primary channel and a secondary channel from the plurality of wireless channels based at least in part on the energy level. Selecting a primary wireless controller and a secondary wireless data controller for each of the plurality of the wireless sensor nodes and establishing wireless communication with each of a plurality of wireless sensors over the primary channel and the secondary channel.
Claims20
