Abstract

A set of AP radios in a wireless network deployment for which configurations are to be deployed is identified. Those configurations deemed to be likely to cause a coverage hole are flagged as high-risk. A candidate deployment order for deploying configurations to the set of AP radios is determined based on deployment ordering criteria. The ordered APs are grouped into candidate deployment batches and a batch refinement process is performed to ensure that no neighbor AP radio is in a same deployment batch as an AP designated to receive a high-risk configuration deployment. The configurations are then deployed to the AP radios in accordance with the refined deployment batches. For any candidate deployment batch that includes a flagged AP radio and a neighbor AP radio, one of the radios is removed from the deployment batch and placed in a re-order list, which is separately subjected to ordering and batching processes.
