Systems and methods are provided for deterministically estimating whether the location of a computing device that is fixed or mobile is inside a fully enclosed building or not (e.g., fully or partially indoors/outdoors). Various environments are supported by the substance of the disclosure, including fully or partially indoor and outdoor environments.

Automatic determination of indoor or outdoor environmental conditions of a device

Examples described herein provide automatic location of access points by a computing device. Examples may include receiving, by the computing device from each AP in a subset of a plurality of APs, a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signal measurement, and based on each received GNSS signal measurement, constraining, by the computing device, the map of relative AP locations by at least one translational degree of freedom or one rotational degree of freedom. Examples may include resolving, by the computing device, locations of the plurality of APs in the map of relative AP locations.

Automatic location of access points in a network

Embodiments are directed to automatic location of access points in a network. An embodiment of one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage mediums includes instructions for transmitting a request from a computing device to multiple access points in a network to determine a distance between each pair of access points of the multiple access points; receiving at the computing device the determined distances between each pair of access points; generating a proximity matrix containing the determined distances between each pair of access points; solving the proximity matrix to automatically generate a set of locations for the multiple access points; and orienting the generated set of locations for the multiple access points based on known locations of one or more anchor points in a subset of the access points.

Examples provided herein describe a method for managing power consumption of a network. For example, a network device may monitor a set of network area zones of a network coverage area, where each network area zone is associated with a set of edge devices. A first occupancy state may be determined for a first network area zone of the set of network area zones based on usage of a first set of edge devices of the first network area zone. Based on the determined first occupancy state, a first power consumption policy for the first network area zone may be determined. Responsive to determining the first power consumption policy, the determined first power consumption policy may be applied to the first set of edge devices in the first network area zone at least edge changing a power consumption mode of a first edge device in the first set of edge devices.

Managing power consumption of a network

In some examples, a non-transitory machine-readable medium can include instructions executable by a processing resource of a network device to: receive a first message on a communication band from a first wireless client device; determine a capability complying with a particular wireless specification of the first wireless client device based on information in the first message; split communication channels on the communication band into a first communication channel group and a second communication channel group; and operate the first communication channel group in accordance with the particular wireless specification and the second communication channel group in accordance with other wireless specifications.
