Abstract
Methods and systems for operating a mobile wireless repeater station for wireless communication on a wireless local area network (WLAN) having a wireless access point (WAP) and a plurality of stations at a location of the WAP. An example implementation includes components coupled to one another to performs operations including sniffing communications channels to intercept communication packets; identifying a subset of one or more relay candidates among the stations to optimize for a relay of subsequent communications based on the intercepted communication packets; and spatially mapping the location of the WAP to determine an optimal spatial placement for the mobile wireless repeater station between the WAP and the identified subset of relay candidates. In an example, the mobile wireless repeater station is adjusted based on the optimal spatial placement.
