US 2022/0191713 A1 · METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MANAGING A PLURALITY OF WI-FI ACCESS POINTS USING A CLOUD BASED ADAPTIVE SOFTWARE DEFINED NETWORK

Abstract

The invention provides a method and system for managing a plurality of Wi-Fi access points using a cloud based adaptive software defined network (A-SDN). In order to manage the plurality of Wi-Fi access points, measurement data corresponding to a plurality of network variables are collected from one or more Wi-Fi access points and one or more client devices using a cloud based network application. Once the measurement data are collected, one or more optimal settings of one or more decision variables are derived for the one or more Wi-Fi access points using one or more network variables from the plurality of network variables. The one or more optimal settings are derived by formulation of optimization problems through heuristic solutions and a machine learning based optimization using the one or more network variables.
