Abstract
Systems and methods for selecting Wi-Fi channels are provided. A method, according to one implementation, includes obtaining a first measurement of a sojourn time associated with operating a Wi-Fi radio at a first Wi-Fi channel, where the first Wi-Fi channel has a first bandwidth. The sojourn time is a metric related to the length of time that packets are queued before being transmitted within a Wi-Fi network. The method also includes the step of obtaining one or more additional measurements of one or more sojourn times associated with operating the Wi-Fi radio at one or more additional Wi-Fi channels. Each of the one or more additional Wi-Fi channels has a bandwidth that is different from the first bandwidth. Also, the method includes selecting a channel from among the first Wi-Fi channel and the one or more additional Wi-Fi channels based on the bandwidth and sojourn time of each respective channel.
