Abstract
Various embodiments of the invention describe systems, devices and methods used to improve network topology connectivity by implementing throughput analysis between an access point and a plurality of extenders. This throughput analysis may include measurements such as interference and load values.
Claims23
A network system comprising:
- an access point coupled to a backend network, the access point having a plurality of wireless interfaces on which a plurality of extenders communicate;
- a first extender within the plurality of extenders, the first extender coupled to at least one of a first plurality of terminals, the first extender communicates with a first wireless interface in the plurality of wireless interfaces on the access point;
- a second extender within the plurality of extenders, the second extender coupled to at least one of a second plurality of terminals, the second extender communicates with a second wireless interface in the plurality of wireless interfaces on the access point;
- and
- a resource manager coupled to communicate with the access point, the first extender and the second extender, the resource manager receives a plurality of measurements related to throughput across a plurality of possible connection architectures between the access point, the first extender, and the second extender, the resource manager determines a preferred connection architecture based at least in part on the received plurality of measurements related to throughput.

A resource manager comprising:
- a first interface on which power measurements and a plurality of measurements related to throughput are received across a plurality of potential connection topologies within a network comprising an access point and a plurality of extenders;
- and
- a processor coupled to receive the power measurements and the plurality of measurements related to throughput, the processor determines a preferred connection architecture between the access point and at least one extender within the plurality of extenders, the preferred connection architecture is determined based at least in part on the power measurements and the at least one measurement related to throughput.
A method of defining a preferred connection architecture comprising connections between an access point and a plurality of extenders, the method comprising:
- determining a first throughput of a first wireless channel between the access point and a first extender within the plurality of extenders, the first throughput based at least in part on a first received power measurement through the first wireless channel and a first interference measurement on the first wireless channel;
- determining a second throughput of a second wireless channel between the access point and a second extender within the plurality of extenders, the second throughput based at least in part on a second received power measurement through the second wireless channel and a second interference measurement on the second wireless channel;
- determining a third throughput of a third wireless channel between the first extender and the second extender, the third throughput based at least in part on a third received power measurement through the third wireless channel and a third interference measurement on the third wireless channel;
- identifying a first load associated with the first extender and a second load associated with the second extender;
- and
- selecting the preferred connection architecture based at least partially on the first and second loads, and at least two of the first, second, and third throughputs.
