Abstract
A system may determine, using first location data, that a client device is located in an interior of a premises in which multiple wireless network access points (APs) are deployed in a wireless network; identify, using second location data, locations of the client device within the interior; obtain, for the locations, a dataset including wireless network signal strength values corresponding to signal coverage areas associated with the wireless network APs; generate, using the dataset, a wireless network mapping corresponding to a layout of the interior; evaluate, against connectivity rules, the wireless network mapping with respect to overlapping signal coverage areas, the connectivity rules defining operations for connecting the client device to the wireless network as a function of the locations; and apply at least one of the operations to the client device at a current location relative to a preceding location and/or a succeeding location of the client device.
