Wireless repeater chain channel control
First Claim
1. A method of operating a wireless access point to control wireless channels in a wireless repeater chain, the method comprising:
- exchanging wireless user data with multiple User Equipment (UEs) over the wireless repeater chain;
monitoring average UE data throughput through the wireless repeater chain and a variance in the average UE throughput;
monitoring an amount of Guaranteed Bit Rate (GBR) connections through the wireless repeater chain;
when the average UE data throughput falls below a data threshold and when the amount of GBR connections exceeds a connection threshold, then selecting one of the wireless channels to disable at a wireless repeater based on the variance in the average UE throughput; and
transferring an instruction to the wireless repeater to disable the one of the wireless channels.

Abstract
A wireless access point controls wireless channels in a wireless repeater chain. The wireless access point exchanges wireless user data with User Equipment (UEs) over the wireless repeater chain. The wireless access point monitors average UE data throughput through the wireless repeater chain, variance in the average UE throughput, and an amount of Guaranteed Bit Rate (GBR) connections through the wireless repeater chain. The wireless access point disables wireless channels when the average UE data throughput falls below a data threshold and the amount of GBR connections exceeds a connection threshold. The wireless access point selects wireless channels to disable based on the variance in the average UE throughput. The wireless access point transfers instructions to selected wireless repeaters to disable the selected wireless channels.

11. A wireless access point to control wireless channels in a wireless repeater chain, the wireless access point comprising:
-
a wireless transceiver system configured to exchange wireless user data with multiple User Equipment (UEs) over the wireless repeater chain; a data processing system configured to monitor average UE data throughput through the wireless repeater chain, variance in the average UE throughput, and an amount of Guaranteed Bit Rate (GBR) connections through the wireless repeater chain; and the data processing system configured, when the average UE data throughput falls below a data threshold and when the amount of GBR connections exceeds a connection threshold, to select one of the wireless channels to disable at a wireless repeater based on the variance in the average UE throughput and transfer an instruction to the wireless repeater to disable the one of the wireless channels. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
