Abstract
In one aspect, a method of access point (AP) discovery, by a network controller is disclosed. The method includes receiving, AP configuration information for a plurality of potential neighboring APs. The method includes storing the AP configuration information for the plurality of potential neighboring APs in a neighbor discovery profile. The method includes identifying an inconsistent AP in the neighbor discovery profile, the inconsistent AP identified as undetected by the network controller during one or more of the plurality of times. The method includes determining whether the inconsistent AP should be considered a neighboring AP based on how often the inconsistent AP appears in the neighbor discovery profile. The method includes determining a radio resource management (RRM) operation using information known to the network controller about APs considered to be a neighboring AP to a first AP.
