Cohesive resource management for wireless networks

Abstract:

A system and method for optimizing access points (APs) within a network comprises receiving, at a first AP, parameters corresponding to a second AP, and determining that the first AP and the second AP are part a first and a second wireless local area network (WLAN), respectively. The first and second WLANs support client credential sharing allowing seamlessly transitioning of a client device between the first and second WLANs using common credentials. Further, co-channel interference between the first AP and the second AP is detected based on the parameters corresponding to the second AP and parameters of the first AP, and at least one of a channel and transmission power of one or more of the first AP and the second AP is changed in response to the detection of the interference.
