Abstract: The disclosed technology relates to a process for managing power consumption of Wi-Fi access points. The solution is composed of three parts. A first part creates power profiles for each of the switches having access points within a computer network that detail how power consumption for an access point can be modified based on changing one or more elements associated with the access point. The second part creates a time-based radio constraint profile that details power requirements for an access point based on client devices connected to the access point within a pre-defined area to ensure that each client device can connect and stay connected with the access point. The third part utilizes machine learning to generate a model that identifies optimal settings for the access point in order to achieve a specific level of power consumption for the access point.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a device receives data regarding a wireless client attempting to form an association with a particular wireless access point in a network. The device queries a blockchain ledger in a blockchain database for wireless roaming data regarding the wireless client. The device uses, when available from the blockchain ledger, the roaming data regarding the wireless client to complete the association between the wireless client and the particular wireless access point. The device updates the blockchain ledger with data regarding the association between the wireless client and the particular wireless access point.
