Abstract
Systems and methods for gathering data by an access point in a Wi-Fi system for optimization include periodically or based on command from a cloud-based system performing one or more of i) obtaining on-channel scanning data while operating on a home channel and ii) switching off the home channel and obtaining off-channel scanning data for one or more off-channels; and providing measurement data based on one or more of the on-channel scanning data and the off-channel scanning data to the cloud-based system for use in the optimization of the Wi-Fi system, wherein the measurement data comprises one or more of raw data and processed data.
