Abstract
Systems and techniques for performing transmit power control for facilitating multi-band make-before-break (MBB) roaming are described. An example technique includes identifying a first access point communicating on a first band within a first cell. A second access point communicating on a second band within a second cell neighboring the first cell is identified. A target overlap between the first band and the second band is created.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- identifying a first access point communicating on a first band within a first cell;
- identifying a second access point communicating on a second band within a second cell neighboring the first cell;
- and
- creating a target overlap between the first band and the second band comprising:
- performing channel assignment for the first band in the first cell, based at least in part on an operating mode of the second access point;
- after performing the channel assignment, performing transmit power control for the first access point communicating on the first band in the first cell;
- and
- performing transmit power control for the second access point communicating on the second band in the second cell, based in part on the transmit power control for the first access point.
A system comprising:
- one or more memories collectively storing instructions;
- and
- one or more processors communicatively coupled to the one or more memories, the one or more processors being collectively configured to execute the instructions to cause the system to perform an operation comprising:
- identifying a first access point communicating on a first band within a first cell;
- identifying a second access point communicating on a second band within a second cell neighboring the first cell;
- and
- creating a target overlap between the first band and the second band comprising:
- performing channel assignment for the first band in the first cell, based at least in part on an operating mode of the second access point;
- after performing the channel assignment, performing transmit power control for the first access point communicating on the first band in the first cell;
- and
- performing transmit power control for the second access point communicating on the second band in the second cell, based in part on the transmit power control for the first access point.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising computer executable code, which when collectively executed by one or more processors, performs an operation comprising:
- identifying a first access point communicating on a first band within a first cell;
- identifying a second access point communicating on a second band within a second cell neighboring the first cell;
- and
- creating a target overlap between the first band and the second band comprising:
- performing channel assignment for the first band in the first cell, based at least in part on an operating mode of the second access point;
- after performing the channel assignment, performing transmit power control for the first access point communicating on the first band in the first cell;
- and
- performing transmit power control for the second access point communicating on the second band in the second cell, based in part on the transmit power control for the first access point.
