AI Operations

The AI Operations page displays all the network performance enhancement solutions for all network venues and clients.

On the Navigation bar, click AI Assurance > AI Analytics > AI Operations. The AI Operations page is displayed. The AI Operations page displays all the network performance enhancement recommendations in a table for the selected time period in the Date and Time filter. You can select the number of recommendations displayed per page from the drop down at the bottom of the page.

RUCKUS AI creates recommendations after constantly monitoring the software configuration and analyzing network data. Changes in the expected behavior of a network or its performance are commonly detected and corrected by making physical changes to the network environment or by making configuration changes to the networking software. The network system configuration must be constantly monitored and regulated to achieve optimum performance. In the AI Operations page, RUCKUS AI provides recommendations by monitoring dynamic factors influencing network performance and also seeks to tune static factors with an objective to improve performance metrics, key performance indicators (KPIs), and the user experience. You can view the recommendations on this page and apply them to see how network performance can be improved. This page also provides insights into network performance before and after a recommendation is applied. A recommendation is a change suggested to the software configuration, and it is applied to the RUCKUS One.

Note: Tenants with professional and essentials license can make use of AI operations in RUCKUS One.

You can use the search option to search the required recommendation by its summary, venue, priority, category, and status.

The table has the following attributes:

Priority: Displays the severity of the recommendation as Low, Medium, or High.
Date: Displays the date the recommendation was created.
Category: Displays the type of recommendation, such as Infrastructure and Wi-Fi Client Experience.
Summary: Displays a short description about the suggested recommendation, for example, "Firmware Upgrade", "Enable DFS Channel", and so on.
Venue: Displays the affected venue name.
Status: Displays the status of the recommendation. The status is New when the recommendation is available but not applied. The status changes to Scheduled after you have scheduled to apply the recommendation. It changes to Applied after the scheduled recommendation has applied the change. If applying the recommendation fails, the status changes to Failed. Every state change triggers an email message to the network administrator providing information about the status. For more information, refer to Table 1.
Action: Displays the Apply and Revert icons. Click Apply icon to apply the recommendation. Click Revert icon to revert to the previous configuration settings.
Note: After you apply the recommendation, it takes an hour to apply the configuration change to the controller.

The network node filter and Date and Time filter are displayed in the upper-right corner of the Content panel. These option controls the elements displayed within the Content Panel. To modify these options, refer to Navigating the RUCKUS One Portal.

Click Date attribute. The AI Operations Recommendation Details page is displayed. This page displays the description of the recommendation, the reason why it is encouraged to apply the recommendation and the tradeoff in the network performance if it is not applied,the KPI that is impacted due to the current configuration, and the status trail tracking how the recommendation has changed states. For more information, refer to AI Operations Recommendation Details.

Note: Recommendations are only available for a period of 90 days, after which they are removed. RUCKUS AI runs a daily check of the recommendations created to see if they are still relevant and applicable. Recommendations that are no longer relevant or valid are automatically removed from the list.

Recommendations that are applied successfully are also reflected in the Config Change page. For more information, refer to Configuration Change.

Following are the key AI Recommendations provided by RUCKUS AI to improve network performance, key performance indicators (KPIs), performance metrics, and the user experience.

Table 1. Recommendations
Category	Summary	Recommedation
Wi-Fi Client Experience	Background scan timer on 2.4 GHz radio	An optimized scan timer for background feature enables RUCKUS APs to scan the channels for an appropriate time interval. Time interval that is too long would result in longer time for radio channel selection.
Wi-Fi Client Experience	Background scan timer on 5 GHz radio	An optimized scan timer for background feature enables RUCKUS APs to scan the channels for an appropriate time interval. Time interval that is too long would result in longer time for radio channel selection.
Wi-Fi Client Experience	Enable DFS channels	Enabling the DFS channels give more available channel options for the AP and enable the AP radio to pick the best available channel. This will help to reduce co-channel interference, enhance user experience and improve throughput for 5 GHz Wi-Fi connections.
Wi-Fi Client Experience	Disable DFS channels	If AP is placed in an area where there are genuine and consistent DFS Radar signals, then the AP should not select DFS channel to ensure uninterrupted operations.
Wi-Fi Client Experience	Tx power setting for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radio	Encourages client association to 5 GHz and reduces co-channel interference on 2.4 GHz
AI-Driven Cloud Radio Resource Management (RRM)	AI-Driven Cloud RRM	Based on the AI Analytics, enabling the AI-Driven Cloud RRM will constantly monitor the network, and adjust the channel plan, bandwidth, and AP transmit power when necessary to decrease the number of interfering links to zero. For more information, refer to AI-Driven Cloud RRM Overview.
