Policy-Based Control Mechanism For Wireless Network Physical Layer Resources

摘要

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to physical layer resource utilization in wireless local area networks. In particular, the present disclosure relates to a policy-based control mechanism for wireless network physical layer resources such as transmit beamforming. Specifically, the disclosed system receives a set of network policy criteria, and information associated with each of a plurality of client devices connected to a network device. The disclosed system then selects a subset of client devices in a wireless network based on the set of network policy criteria and information associated with each of the plurality of client devices. Furthermore, the disclosed system provides the subset of client devices for using one or more of wireless network physical layer resources. Here, the wireless network physical layer resources are limited to a threshold number of client devices. Moreover, the number of client devices in the subset does not exceed the threshold number.
