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 17):
The first AP of  claim 1 , wherein the device is a child AP, and wherein the instructions to select the target path include instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the first AP to:\n if more than one of the plurality of candidate paths have an end-to-end capacity higher than the capacity requirement of the child AP, select the target path that has a lowest end-to-end delay from among the candidate paths that have an end-to-end capacity higher than the capacity requirement of the child AP; and otherwise, select the target path that has a highest end-to-end capacity from among the plurality of candidate paths.
