US 2021/0345348 A1 · MITIGATING ADJACENT CHANNEL INTERFERENCE FOR A DUAL RADIO NETWORK DEVICE

Abstract

Examples described herein mitigate adjacent channel interference for dual radios of a network device. Examples described herein may associate, by a network device, a first client device with a first radio of the network device, associate, by the network device, a second client device with a second radio of the network device, determine that the first and second client devices are within a steering threshold, and based on the determination that the first and second client devices are within the steering threshold, steer, by the network device, the second client device from the second radio to the first radio. Examples described herein may communicate, using the first radio of the network device, with the first and second client devices.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A method, comprising:

associating, by a network device, a first client device with a first radio of the network device;
associating, by the network device, a second client device with a second radio of the network device;
determining that the first and second client devices are within a steering threshold;
based on the determination that the first and second client devices are within the steering threshold, steering, by the network device, the second client device from the second radio to the first radio;
and
communicating, using the first radio of the network device, with the first and second client devices.

3 more elements

A network device, comprising:

a first radio;
a second radio;
at least one processing resource;
and
at least one non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions executable by at least one processing resource to:
associate a first client device with the first radio;
associate a second client device with the second radio;
determine that the first and second client devices are within a steering threshold;
based on the determination that the first and second client devices are within the steering threshold, steer the second client device from the second radio to the first radio;
and
communicate, using the first radio, with the first and second client devices.

8 more elements

An article comprising at least one non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions executable by at least one processing resource to:

associate a first client device with a first radio of a network device;
associate a second client device with a second radio of the network device;
determine that the first and second client devices are within a steering threshold;
based on the determination that the first and second client devices are within the steering threshold, disassociate the second client device with the second radio and associate the second client device with the first radio;
receive, by the first radio, uplink traffic from the first client device;
and
transmit by the first radio, downlink traffic to the second client device.
