Abstract
Systems and methods for Wi-Fi sensing are provided. Wi-Fi sensing methods may be carried out by a networking device configured to operate as an access point (AP) within a mesh network. The AP may be configured to identify a reciprocal AP with which the AP has a reciprocal wireless link. The AP may be configured to determine a first AP role determination metric associated with the AP and receive a second AP role determination metric associated with the reciprocal AP. The AP may be configured to compare the first AP role determination metric to the second AP role determination metric to allocate a first sensing role to the AP based on the comparing and allocate a second sensing role to the reciprocal AP based on the comparing.
Claims30
A method for Wi-Fi sensing carried out by a networking device configured to operate as an access point (AP) within a mesh network and including at least a receiving antenna, a transmitting antenna, and at least one processor configured to execute instructions, the method comprising:
- identifying, by the at least one processor, a reciprocal AP with which the AP has a reciprocal wireless link;
- determining, by the at least one processor, a first AP role determination metric associated with the AP;
- receiving, by the at least one processor, a second AP role determination metric associated with the reciprocal AP;
- comparing, by the at least one processor, the first AP role determination metric to the second AP role determination metric;
- allocating, by the at least one processor, a first sensing role to the AP based on the comparing;
- and
- allocating, by the at least one processor, a second sensing role to the reciprocal AP based on the comparing.
