First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computing device, comprising:
- a processing resource; and
a memory resource storing machine-readable instructions to cause the processing resource to;
proactively identify a line-of-sight (LOS) blockage of a network signal transmitted on a millimeter-wave link; and
reroute network traffic from the millimeter-wave link to a wireless local area network (WLAN) transmission channel in response to identifying the LOS blockage of the network signal.

Abstract
In some examples, a computing device may comprise a processing resource and a memory resource storing machine-readable instructions to cause the processing resource to proactively identify a line-of-sight (LOS) blockage of a network signal transmitted on a millimeter-wave link, and reroute network traffic from the millimeter-wave link to a wireless local area network (WLAN) transmission channel in response to identifying the LOS blockage of the network signal.

7. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium having stored thereon machine-readable instructions to cause a computing processor to:
-
compare a first signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of a millimeter-wave link and a second SNR of a wireless local area network (WLAN) transmission channel; proactively identify a line-of-sight (LOS) blockage of a network signal transmitted on a millimeter-wave link based on a difference between the first SNR and the second SNR; and reroute network traffic from the millimeter-wave link to the WLAN transmission channel in response to identifying the LOS blockage of the network signal. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A method comprising:
-
determining, by a network device, a first signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of a millimeter-wave link; determining, by the network device, a second SNR of a wireless local area network (WLAN) transmission channel; comparing, by the network device, the first SNR and the second SNR; proactively identifying, by the network device, a line-of-sight (LOS) blockage of a network signal transmitted on a millimeter-wave link based on a difference between the first SNR and the second SNR, wherein the difference exceeds a predetermined threshold; and rerouting network traffic from the millimeter-wave link to the WLAN transmission channel in response to identifying the LOS blockage of the network signal. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)
