Abstract:
This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-readable media, for serving AP selection in a network having multiple access points (APs). In one aspect, a serving AP selection unit can steer a device (such as a client station, STA, or a child AP) based on a quality of service profile (such as a capacity requirement or a delay requirement) of the device. The device may be initially associated with a first AP (as the current serving AP) in the network. The serving AP selection unit may select a second AP as a new serving AP for the device, and cause the device to associate with the second AP rather than the first AP. The selection of a serving AP may take into account delay or hop count in addition to path capacities for various paths in the network.

Claim (Index 5):
The first AP of  claim 1 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, further cause the first AP to:\n obtain performance information regarding a plurality of APs in the network, the performance information including traffic flow parameters regarding one or more clients of the plurality of APs, wherein the estimated path performance metrics are based, at least in part, on the performance information regarding the plurality of APs.
