We are leveraging AI in order to optimize BSS Coloring, to improve data transmission scheduling within OFDMA and MU-MIMO and to assign clients to the best radio to boost the overall performance of the network.
Boosts Spectral Efficiency
OFDMA improves spectral efficiency so that an increasing density of devices can be supported on the network, especially with IoT devices that often utilize smaller data packets than mobile devices and hence increase the burden and contention on the network. Additionally, BSS Coloring improves the co-existence of overlapping BSS’ and allows spatial reuse within a given channel by reducing the packet collisions. This helps you improve spectral efficiency for dense networks where channel reuse is increasing.
