Method and system for assisting wireless access points with satellite control plane

A wireless access point, comprising:

• a processing system including a processor;
• and
• a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:
• obtaining a first set of images of an area associated with the wireless access point;
• determining, using an artificial intelligence or machine learning (AI/ML) model analyzing the first set of images, a potential signal interference affecting wireless communications associated with the wireless access point;
• predicting, using the AI/ML model, a time at which the potential signal interference no longer exists;
• predicting, using the AI/ML model, a reduced signal strength of wireless communications associated with the wireless access point during a predicted duration that the potential signal interference exists, wherein the predicted duration is based on the time;
• generating routing instructions based on the potential signal interference, the time, and the reduced signal strength;
• and
• transmitting the routing instructions to a source wireless access point, an end user device, or both.

A method, comprising:

• obtaining, by a processing system including a processor, a first set of images of an area that includes a wireless access point;
• analyzing, by the processing system using an artificial intelligence or machine learning (AI/ML) model, the first set of images to determine a potential signal interference affecting wireless communications associated with the wireless access point and to identify an obstruction causing the potential signal interference;
• predicting, by the processing system using the AI/ML model and based on the analyzing, a time at which the obstruction will be cleared from a position with respect to the wireless access point such that the potential signal interference no longer exists;
• generating, by the processing system, routing instructions for the wireless communications based on the potential signal interference and the time at which the obstruction will be cleared;
• providing, by the processing system, the routing instructions to a wireless access point;
• and
• routing, by the wireless access point, the wireless communications according to the routing instructions.
