Abstract
Techniques for assigning APs to wireless network controllers are described. One or more RF constellations for a plurality of APs in a wireless network are generated. The RF constellations are organized based on estimated RF distances among the plurality of APs. The plurality of APs are clustered into a plurality of groups of one or more APs, based on the RF constellations and the estimated RF distances. Each group, of the plurality of groups, is assigned to a wireless network controller.
Claims20
A method of assigning access points (APs) to wireless network controllers, the method comprising:
- generating one or more radio frequency (RF) constellations for a plurality of APs in a wireless network, the RF constellations organized based on estimated RF distances among the plurality of APs;
- clustering, based on the RF constellations and the estimated RF distances, the plurality of APs into a plurality of groups of one or more APs;
- and
- assigning each group, of the plurality of groups, to a wireless network controller.
A system, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory storing a program, which, when executed on the processor, performs an operation, the operation comprising:
- generating one or more RF constellations for a plurality of APs in a wireless network, the RF constellations organized based on estimated RF distances among the plurality of APs;
- clustering, based on the RF constellations and the estimated RF distances, the plurality of APs into a plurality of groups of one or more APs;
- and
- assigning each group, of the plurality of groups, to a wireless network controller.
A computer program product for assigning APs to wireless network controllers, the computer program product comprising:
- a computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code embodied therewith, the computer-readable program code executable by one or more computer processors to perform an operation, the operation comprising:
- generating one or more RF constellations for a plurality of APs in a wireless network, the RF constellations organized based on estimated RF distances among the plurality of APs;
- clustering, based on the RF constellations and the estimated RF distances, the plurality of APs into a plurality of groups of one or more APs;
- and
- assigning each group, of the plurality of groups, to a wireless network controller.
