Abstract
The present invention relates to wireless networks and more specifically to systems and methods for selecting available channels free of radar signals from a plurality of radio frequency channels. In one embodiment, the present invention provides a standalone multi-channel DFS master device and a cloud intelligence device. The standalone multi-channel DFS master device generates spectral information associated with a plurality of communication channels for a device in communication with the standalone multi-channel DFS master device. The cloud intelligence device receives the spectral information via a network device, integrates the spectral information with other spectral information to generate integrated spectral information, and determines a communication channel for the device that is selected from the plurality of communication channels based at least on the integrated spectral information.
