A steering controller of an access point device can provide an optimized network environment or performance by steering a target client device to a basic service set (BSS) of a network device that is different from the current BSS of the target client device based on one or more non-associated client (NAC) link quality parameters to the BSS on the network device. The steering controller can identify the target client device based on a steering condition. A delta link quality can be determined based on the NAC link quality parameters and the target link quality parameters associated with the target client device. The steering controller can send one or more steering instructions to the target client device if a candidate BSS is identified based on a comparison between a determined maximum difference between a NAC link quality parameter and a target link quality parameter and an associated threshold.

A computer implemented method of antenna tilt analysis for a cell of a communication network. The method is performed by collecting performance data from the cell, determining number of bad coverage samples based on the performance data, determining value for a handover overlap parameter based on the performance data, detecting that the number of bad coverage samples and the value of the handover overlap parameter fulfil predetermined criteria, and responsively outputting instructions to change antenna tilt in the cell.

This disclosure describes a request distribution system that can intelligently distribute transportation requests to provider devices to improve transportation system network coverage and efficiency. For example, the disclosed systems can identify one or more provider devices (e.g., limited-eligibility provider devices or full-eligibility provider devices) as potential recipients for a transportation request. In some embodiments, the disclosed systems can further determine an expected change in network coverage time associated with providing the transportation request to one provider device versus another. The disclosed systems can provide the transportation request to a provider device according to the expected change in network coverage time and/or other transportation request metrics.

A method, system, and apparatus for optimizing a connection of a station (STA) in a mesh network of a plurality of 802.11 access points (APs) carried out by a client steering daemon (CSD) running on an AP of the plurality of APs. The CSD may calculate a cost ratio based on a plurality of metrics from a list and compare the signal strength information against a predetermined value. Based on the outcome of the signal strength comparison the CSD may analyze risk for the STA, determine a course of action for the STA based on the calculating, comparing, and analyzing and send instructions to a plurality of CSDs running on each of the plurality of APs for the course of action. The course of action may be keeping a STA associated with a current interface, guiding a STA to a destination interface, or kicking a STA to a destination interface.

A method and a User Equipment (UE) for cell (re)selection are provided. The method includes: receiving an intra-frequency-reselection indicator in a Master Information Block (MIB) from a cell on a specific frequency; determining whether the cell belongs to a network to which the UE is registered; determining other cells on the specific frequency as barred cells that the UE is not permitted to select in an intra-frequency cell reselection, in a case that the cell belongs to the network and the intra-frequency-reselection indicator is set to a first value indicating that the intra-frequency cell reselection is not allowed to be performed; and performing the intra-frequency cell reselection to the other cells on the specific frequency, in a case that the cell does not belong to the network or the intra-frequency-reselection indicator is set to a second value indicating that the intra-frequency cell reselection is allowed to be performed.
