US 2024/0187322 A1 · STRATEGY TO ENSURE CONTINUAL USER EXPERIENCE AND SYSTEM PERFORMANCE IF AN UPLINK IS STUCK

Abstract

In a computer network, communication connections may be established between client devices and network devices. An algorithm may be generated and used as a method to identify and resolve issues with Uplink communications between client devices and network devices. When an issue with an Uplink communication is identified, a total number of issues with the communication may be determined. Determining that the total number of issues with a communication is greater than a threshold, the client device associated with the communication may be deauthenticated from the respective network device. After a client device is deauthenticated from a network device, the total number of deauthentications may be determined with the network device. Determining the total number of deauthentications with a network device is greater than a threshold, the radio of the network device may be disabled to deauthenticate all connected client devices. Solutions may be implemented according to the issues identified.

Dependent claims

A computer-implemented method performed by a first network device of a plurality of network devices in a network, the method comprising:

sending, to a first client device of a plurality of client devices, a query message requesting a response indicating if the first client device is sending at least one data packet to the first network device, wherein the first client device is connected to the first network device;
determining a first response message is received from the first client device;
determining a failure count indicating the number of failed attempts in sending data packets from the first client device to the first network device;
increasing the failure count by one when determined no data packets have been received from the first client device;
determining the failure count is greater than a failure count threshold;
and
deauthenticating the first client device from the first network device when the failure count is greater than a failure count threshold.

A computing system comprising:

a first network device of a plurality of network devices;
a first client device of a plurality of client devices;
one or more processors;
and
a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
send, from the first network device to the first client device, a query message requesting a response indicating if the first client device is sending at least one data packet to the first network device, wherein the first client device is connected to the first network device;
determine a first response message is received by the first network device from the first client device;
determine a failure count indicating the number of failed attempts in sending data packets from the first client device to the first network device;
increasing the failure count by one when determined no data packets have been received by the first network device from the first client device;
determine the failure count is greater than a failure count threshold;
and
deauthenticate the first client device from the first network device when the failure count is greater than a failure count threshold.
