Abstract
The present invention relates to wireless networks and more specifically to systems and methods for selecting available channels free of radar signals from a plurality of 5 GHz radio frequency channels. In non-limiting embodiments, exemplary systems, methods, and apparatuses are provided that can facilitate reducing false detections and/or network downtime in exemplary mesh networks employing dynamic frequency selection (DFS) channels. In a non-limiting aspect, radar information can be propagated among exemplary mesh nodes, including location information, to facilitate reducing false detections and/or network downtime in exemplary mesh networks. In addition, in further non-limiting aspects, exemplary embodiments can transmit signals to facilitate silencing one or more DFS channels and/or collaborative mesh node identification and/or discrimination of radar signals and false detections, among other non-limiting aspects provided.
