Optimising ESP32 connectivity for high-density WiFi deployments

[anonymoouse]

Hi,

I'm looking into a solution that contains a large number of ESP32's within an area (100s-1000s), and we're looking at ways to optimise this setup increasing connection reliability. Throughput for each unit isn't huge (couple kb/s) but each device needs to remain connected and receiving a stream of data constantly.

What optimisations are possible at both the network, ESP-IDF and software level to reduce the time each unit is transmitting and therefore interfering with one another?

Thanks
