    Abstract: An example method of controlling a wireless access point may include associating accumulated-channel-resource-consumption variables with, respectively, resource consumers of the wireless access point. The method may further include, for wireless communications of the wireless access point determining a number of spatial streams effectively consumed by the respective wireless communication; determining an operational bandwidth effectively consumed by the respective wireless communication; determining a duration of the respective wireless communication; determining a channel-resource-consumption amount for the respective wireless communication based on the number of spatial streams effectively consumed by the respective wireless communication, the operational bandwidth effectively consumed by the respective wireless communication, and the duration of the respective wireless communication; and determining values for the accumulated-channel-resource-consumption variables by accumulating the channel-resource-consumption amounts per resource consumer. The method may further include determining whether to impose channel access restrictions on the resource consumers based on their respective accumulated-channel-resource-consumption variables.

    Abstract: In one example a computer implemented method comprises receiving, at an access point of a wireless network, a multicast/broadcast frame which identifies one or more stations associated with the access point as a recipient for the multicast/broadcast frame, and in response to a determination that at least one station of the one or more stations identified as a recipient for the multicast/broadcast frame is in an inactive state, determining a beacon slot time for a transmission of the multicast/broadcast frame from the access point, in response to a determination that at least one of the one or more stations in an inactive state will miss the beacon signal, converting the multicast/broadcast frame to a unicast frame, and holding a copy of the unicast frame to be transmitted to the at least one of the one or more stations in an inactive state that will miss the beacon signal.

    Abstract: In implementations of the present disclosure, there is provided an approach for transmitting multicast frames. A method comprises obtaining a multicast frame in a wireless local area network (WLAN), where the WLAN includes a plurality of sub-networks with a same service set identifier (SSID). Then, a target sub-network of the plurality of sub-networks for receiving the multicast frame is determined based on the multicast frame and a unique group temporal key (GTK) for the target sub-network is obtained based on the target sub-network. Next, the multicast frame is encrypted using the obtained unique GTK for the target sub-network, and the encrypted multicast frame is transmitted to one or more client devices in the target sub-network. Implementations of the present disclosure can help the AP to reduce leakage of multicast frames to all client device by using the GTK corresponding the target sub-network.

    Abstract: In embodiments of the present disclosure, a method is provided for managing an AP position for an access point. In the method, a magnetic distribution map is obtained for an indoor area, the magnetic distribution map representing a plurality of reference magnetic values that are collected at a plurality of reference positions in the indoor area. A plurality of magnetic measurements are received, here the plurality of magnetic measurements are respectively collected at a plurality of access point (AP) positions at which a plurality of APs are deployed within the indoor area, and the plurality of AP positions are unknown. The plurality of AP positions are mapped to a portion of the plurality of reference positions based on the plurality of magnetic measurements and the plurality of reference magnetic values. The plurality of AP positions are determined based on the portion of the plurality of reference positions. Therefore, AP positions may be determined accurately and effectively in an indoor environment.
