Selecting an access point for providing network access to a wireless device based on historical network activity
First Claim
1. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions which, when executed by one or more hardware processors, causes performance of operations comprising:
- determining an attribute associated with a first communication session corresponding to a first client device;
determining that a prior communication session, of a plurality of prior communication sessions, is associated with the attribute;
determining a historical network activity characteristic associated with the prior communication session;
determining an estimated network activity characteristic associated with the first communication session based on the historical network activity characteristic associated with the prior communication session;
selecting a first access point, from a plurality of access points, for conducting the first communication session corresponding to the first client device based on the estimated network activity characteristic associated with the first communication session; and
causing the first client device to associate with the first access point.

Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for selecting an access point for providing network access to a client device based on a historical network activity characteristic. An attribute associated with a current or future communication session corresponding to the client device is determined. A prior communication session, associated with the same attribute, is identified. A historical network activity characteristic, for the client device, corresponding to the prior communication session is selected. An access point is selected, from a group of access points, based on the historical network activity characteristic. The access point is selected for providing network access to the client device during the current or future communication session. Based on the selection, the client device associates with the selected access point.

20. A method, comprising:
-
determining an attribute associated with a first communication session corresponding to a first client device; determining that a prior communication session, of a plurality of prior communication sessions, is associated with the attribute; determining a historical network activity characteristic associated with the prior communication session; determining an estimated network activity characteristic associated with the first communication session based on the historical network activity characteristic associated with the prior communication session; selecting a first access point, from a plurality of access points, for conducting the first communication session corresponding to the first client device based on the estimated network activity characteristic associated with the first communication session; and causing the first client device to associate with the first access point; wherein the method is performed by at least one device including a hardware processor.
