    Abstract: Currently, spatial reuse (SR) is a feature used indiscriminately for/across all traffic classes. However, systems and methods are provided for increasing the reliability of voice traffic and Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) Acknowledgement (ACK) messaging. The result is improved quality of voice calls, and enhanced network capacity. When the length of a data section of a packet suggests that subsequent packets are associated with voice traffic or TCP ACKs, such packets are not transmitted when another transmission(s) is occurring under spatial reuse. When a determination is made that the length of a data section of the packet suggests non-voice traffic or TCP ACKs, they can be transmitted simultaneously with other transmissions occurring under spatial reuse.

    Abstract: Currently, spatial reuse (SR) is a feature used indiscriminately for/across all traffic classes. However, systems and methods are provided for reducing channel access latency via selective application of SR for latency-sensitive and high-priority traffic. If a radio frequency (RF) signal is detected on a channel used by an access point (AP) or a client device, a determination can be made as to whether the energy of the RF signal relative to SR energy level thresholds permits transmission on that channel used simultaneously by another, e.g., neighboring AP. If so, frames can be transmitted so long as the other neighboring AP is associated with a different basic service set (BSS) color than that of the AP, and so long as the frames to be transmitted belong to a high-priority/low-latency traffic access category.

    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to dynamic frequency selection (DFS) for wake up radio (WUR). An embodiment of a storage medium includes instructions to cause operations including select, by a primary access point (AP), a surrogate AP to communicate with a wake up radio of a station that is associated with the primary AP operating on a Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) channel; provide, by the primary AP to the surrogate AP, wake up radio parameters negotiated between the station and the primary AP; cause, by the primary AP, the surrogate AP to send a wake up signal to the station, the wake up signal to cause the wake up radio of the station to enable a primary connectivity radio of the station; and exchange, by the primary AP, data with the station via the primary connectivity radio after the primary connectivity radio is enabled.

    Abstract: Example method includes: determining, by a network device, a plurality of client devices' locations within a wireless network; assigning the plurality of client devices into a number of clusters; calculating an original cluster centroid location for each cluster of client devices; calculating an average distance between each client device in a particular cluster and the original cluster centroid location for the particular cluster; iteratively adjusting the number of clusters and assignment of the plurality of client devices to determine the number of clusters associated with a low number of cluster and a low average distance from each client device in a respective cluster to a respective cluster centroid location; and assigning a subset of access points in the wireless network to a high priority, each AP in the subset having the closest distance to the respective cluster centroid location corresponding to the determined number of clusters.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for assigning BSS colors in a deployed wireless area network (WLAN) include identifying a plurality of APs of an external wireless network operating on a same channel as a deployed AP of a deployed wireless network; selecting as a subset of the plurality of APs of the external wireless network those APs of the external wireless network based on expected interference; grouping the APs of the subset of the plurality of APs by a basic service set (BSS) color used by each of the plurality of identified APs of the external wireless network to form AP BSS color groups; calculating an airtime utilization for each AP color group; and selecting a BSS color using the calculated airtime utilization and assigning the selected BSS color for use by the deployed AP of the deployed wireless network.
