US Patent 11510210 Flexible radio assignment for multi-link capable access points

Management of radio resources of a wireless network according to a Flexible Radio Assignment (FRA) mode may be provided. For each Access Point (AP) of the wireless network: a type of AP may be identified including determining whether each AP has Multi-Link (ML) capability, and when the FRA mode is for performance, a bias may be applied to each ML capable AP to reduce a likelihood of a radio of each ML capable AP being identified as a redundant radio. For each Client Device (CD) of the wireless network, an identification of whether each CD has ML capability may be made, and a radio configuration of at least one ML capable AP may be tailored to support one or more ML capable CDs.
