Abstract
Wi-Fi link health monitoring by a wireless device. Signal strength (e.g., RSSI) of a Wi-Fi link may be monitored. If the signal strength is low, further link quality metrics may be monitored. If it is determined that health of the Wi-Fi link is poor based on monitoring signal strength and other link quality metrics, roaming to a different Wi-Fi network may be performed, the Wi-Fi link may be disconnected, and/or an application processor of the wireless device may be woken.
