Claim:
1. A controller for equalizing an average throughput of a plurality of wireless communication network access points, the plurality of wireless communication network access points being positioned with respect to each other in order to provided increased wireless capacity to a plurality of wireless communication stations operating in an area, each wireless communication network access point having a respective average throughput value and at least one control parameter, the at least one control parameter controlling wireless connectivity at the wireless communication network access point, the controller including a memory and processor in communication with the memory, the processor configured to: determine an average throughput value received from each of the plurality of wireless communication network access points; determine a first wireless communication network access point for configuration based on the average throughput values received from each of the plurality of wireless communication network access points; set the at least one control parameter of the determined first wireless communication network access point to at least one threshold value to effect equalization of the average throughput values among the plurality of wireless communication network access points; and cause transmission of the set at least one control parameter to the determined first wireless communication network access point.
