Method and apparatus for using time shifted analysis based on gathering non-encrypted information from packets
First Claim
1. A system, comprising:
- a Wi-Fi coordinator device configured to receive respective packet information from devices in range of the Wi-Fi coordinator device; and
a cloud intelligence engine communicatively coupled to the Wi-Fi coordinator device and configured to receive the respective packet information, store the respective packet information and associated timing information, integrate the respective packet information with other packet information to generate integrated packet information, and determine operational Wi-Fi settings for an access point device based on the integrated packet information, wherein the cloud intelligence engine determines a signature for a coverage area of the access point device, and wherein the signature comprises respective periodicities and respective delays between packets associated with the respective packet information.

Abstract
The present invention relates to wireless networks and more specifically to systems and methods for selecting and implementing communication parameters used in a wireless network to optimize communication between access points and client devices while accounting for effects of adjacent networks. In one embodiment, the present invention includes a Wi-Fi coordinator device that receives packet information from devices within wireless range of the Wi-Fi coordinator. The Wi-Fi coordinator sends the packet information to a cloud intelligence engine which then time shifts the packet information and combines the packet information with other packet information. Using this integrated packet information, the cloud intelligence devices determines the access point settings to improve the operation of the network.
