US 2026/0040339 A1 · SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DFS CAPABLE AND DFS NON-CAPABLE CLIENT IDENTIFICATION

Abstract

Creating a channel allocation specification may require setting dynamic frequency selection (DFS) capability indicators corresponding to a plurality of clients in response to receiving client capability metadata related to those clients. The DFS capability indicators may indicate the clients that are DFS capable clients and the clients that are DFS non-capable clients. The DFS capability indicators may be provided to a channel allocator that is configured to produce a channel allocation specification for a wireless network that includes a plurality of wireless access points configured to use a plurality of DFS channels and a plurality of non-DFS channels to provide network access to the clients, the channel allocation specification based at least in part on the client capability metadata.

Dependent claims

A method comprising:

producing a plurality of dynamic frequency selection (DFS) capability indicators corresponding to a plurality of clients in response to receiving client capability metadata, the DFS capability indicators indicating the clients that are DFS capable clients and the clients that are DFS non-capable clients;
and
providing the DFS capability indicators to a channel allocator that is configured to produce a channel allocation specification for a wireless network that includes a plurality of wireless access points configured to use a plurality of DFS channels and a plurality of non-DFS channels to provide network access to the clients, the channel allocation specification based at least in part on the client capability metadata.

A non-transitory computer storage medium storing computer readable instructions, that when executed on one or more processors, implements a method comprising:

producing a plurality of dynamic frequency selection (DFS) capability indicators corresponding to a plurality of clients in response to receiving client capability metadata, the DFS capability indicators indicating the clients that are DFS capable clients and the clients that are DFS non-capable clients;
and
providing the DFS capability indicators to a wireless network configurator that is configured to produce a channel allocation specification for a wireless network that includes a plurality of wireless access points configured to use a plurality of DFS channels and a plurality of non-DFS channels to provide network access to the clients, the channel allocation specification based at least in part on the client capability metadata.
