Abstract
Techniques for assigning APs to wireless network controllers are described. One or more RF constellations for a plurality of APs in a wireless network are generated. The RF constellations are organized based on estimated RF distances among the plurality of APs. The plurality of APs are clustered into a plurality of groups of one or more APs, based on the RF constellations and the estimated RF distances. Each group, of the plurality of groups, is assigned to a wireless network controller.
