Abstract
Systems and methods for optimizing a cluster of Wi-Fi networks operating within a vicinity of each other are provided. In one implementation, a method includes detecting a cluster of Wi-Fi networks operating independently of each other, where the cluster is defined in that each Wi-Fi network includes a wireless transceiver configured to receive at least a minimum amount of signal power from one or more other wireless transceivers of one or more other Wi-Fi networks of the cluster. The method includes determining a plurality of Wi-Fi networks of the cluster that are enabled for cooperative optimization. Also, the method includes assigning a Wi-Fi channel selected from a plurality of available Wi-Fi channels to each of the wireless transceivers associated with the plurality of Wi-Fi networks enabled for cooperative optimization to reduce a total amount of potential interference in the cluster caused by the signal power received from independently-operated wireless transceivers.
