Generating Floorplans via Machine Learning in Network Devices

A device, comprising:

• a processor;
• at least one network interface controller configured to provide access to a network;
• and
• a memory communicatively coupled to the processor, wherein the memory comprises a floor plan mapping logic that is configured to:
• receive a power measurement request from a network device on the network;
• transmit an acknowledgment signal to the network device;
• receive a plurality of test frames configured to include at least power data;
• process the power data;
• generate a client report based on at least the processed power data;
• and
• transmit the generated client report to the network device.

A method of generating a floor plan mapping, comprising:

• generating a first plurality of test frames for transmission to network devices on a network;
• wherein an initial frame in the plurality of test frames comprises a current access point (“AP”) power level;
• and
• utilizing a frame index to signify a position of the initial frame within the plurality of test frames;
• transmitting the generated first plurality of test frames;
• receiving client report data from at least one network device on the network;
• and
• generating a floorplan mapping based on the received client report data.
