This disclosure describes systems, devices, apparatus, and methods, including computer programs encoded on storage media, for controlling a network with one or more access points (APs). A controller may be configured to schedule at least some resources of the one or more APs to improve network efficiency. The APs may measure and report a variety of information and statistics to the controller. The controller may determine one or more transmission parameters and one or more operations a given AP is permitted to perform during a respective time interval. The controller may communicate the one or more transmission parameters using an indication, such as a message. At least one AP associated with the controller may communicate with stations (STAs) using the one or more transmission parameters.

Techniques for controlling a network

Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory media for performing passive radio frequency (RF) location detection operations. In some aspects, RF data, such as RF signals including channel state information (CSI), can be received from a wireless device. The RF data can be provided to a self-supervised machine-learning architecture that is configured to perform object location estimation.

Self-supervised passive positioning using wireless data

Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory media for performing radio frequency sensing detection operations. For instance, radio frequency data can be received that is associated with at least one wireless device. The radio frequency data can be based on radio frequency signals reflected from a first object and received by the at least one wireless device. Training label data can also be obtained (e.g., from a labeling device, from the at least one wireless device, etc.). The training label data can be based at least in part on the first object and input data (e.g., received by the labeling device, the at least one wireless device, etc.). A sensing model can be generated based on the radio frequency data and the training label data.

Passive positioning with radio frequency sensing labels

This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for onboarding one or more Multi-AP devices using a device provisioning protocol (DPP) and a Multi-AP communication protocol. In one aspect, a first Multi-AP device may determine, during an onboarding process, DPP configuration information that was derived using the DPP. The first Multi-AP device may establish a Multi-AP network configuration between the first Multi-AP device and a second Multi-AP device using the Multi-AP communication protocol based, at least in part, on the DPP configuration information. In one aspect, the DPP configuration information may be derived remotely by the network operator prior to device deployment. In one aspect, a configurator station (STA) may be delegated as the DPP configurator by the network operator, and may onboard one or more STAs into the Multi-AP network using the DPP and the Multi-AP communication protocol.

Onboarding multiple access point (Multi-AP) device using device provisioning protocol (DPP)

Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory media for sensing radio frequency signals. For instance, radio frequency data can be received by an apparatus and from at least one wireless device in an environment. Based on the radio frequency data received from the at least one wireless device, the apparatus can determine sensing coverage of the at least one wireless device. The apparatus can further provide the determined sensing coverage and a position of at least one device to a user device.

Certain aspects relate to methods and apparatus for traffic separation in a multi AP (MAP) network. In some cases, a MAP Controller may configure sets of SSIDs to a single VLAN ID in a Traffic Separation Policy and distribute the Traffic Separation Policy information to the MAP Agents.

Traffic separation in a controller based multi-AP network

Certain aspects relate to methods and apparatus for traffic flow service prioritization in a multi AP (MAP) network.

Traffic service prioritization in a controller based multi-AP network

An apparatus includes a memory and a processor coupled to the memory. The processor is configured to determine a first identifier that corresponds to a data link group identifier of a data link group and to determine a second identifier that corresponds to a device. The processor is further configured to generate an internet protocol (IP) address for a data link interface of the device based on a combination of a data link routing prefix, the first identifier, and the second identifier.

Data link interface internet protocol (IP) address generation

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. Methods, systems, and devices provide for determining or identifying a client device that is monopolizing a channel associated with a first basic service set (BSS). Once identified, a second BSS is dynamically created and configured with parameters that are throttled with respect to the first BSS. The client device is steered to the second BSS and is prevented from reassociating with the first BSS until a change in device status.

Uplink airtime fairness through basic service set steering

This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for load balancing network traffic in a wireless network. In one aspect, an access point may determine a plurality of client devices that are associated with an overloaded channel of the wireless network. The access point may identify a first client device of the plurality of client devices based, at least in part, on an airtime consumed on the overloaded channel. The access point may determine one or more alternate paths between the access point and the first client device. The access point may forecast airtime to be used by the first client device on channels of the one or more alternate paths, and steer wireless network traffic of the first client device to a first alternate path of the one or more alternate paths based, at least in part, on the forecasted airtime.

Load balancing in a wireless network with multiple access points

A first access point (AP) detects a communication between a client device and a second AP. The first AP determines at least one criteria for AP steering is satisfied. AP steering is then used by the first AP to cause the client device to associate with the first AP, or a particular network of the first AP. For example, the first AP may transmit a disassociation message to the client device. The disassociation message may identify the second AP associated with the client device and cause the client device to disassociate from the second AP. After the client device disassociates from the second AP, the client device may select and associate with the first AP. The first AP may manage which network the client device associates with using a blacklist at the first AP.

Access point steering

Seamless path switching is made possible in a multi-hop network based upon stream marker packets and additional path distinguishing operations. A device receiving out-of-order packets on the same ingress interface is capable of determining a proper order for the incoming packets having different upstream paths. Packets may be reordered at a relay device or a destination device based upon where a path update is initiated. Reordering packets from the various upstream paths may be dependent upon a type of service associated with the packet.
