Provisioning access point bandwidth based on predetermined events
First Claim
1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to:
- identify a pattern of data transmitted by a particular client device;
create a client profile for the particular client device, wherein the client profile includes;
the pattern of data; and
a combination of historical data and current data;
determine a probability of the particular client device engaging in a predetermined event at a particular time, wherein the probability is determined based on the client profile;
select a particular access point from a plurality of access points to provide network access to the particular client device based on the client profile and the determined probability; and
associate the particular client device with the particular access point from the plurality of access points for the particular client device to obtain the network access.

Abstract
The present disclosure discloses a method and network device for provisioning access point bandwidth based on predetermined events. The disclosed system identifies a pattern for one or more devices over a period of time, the pattern indicating that the one or more devices (a) connect to a particular access point at a particular time of day, or (b) are located near the particular access point at the particular time of day. Prior or approximately the particular time, the disclosed system facilitates at least one client device associated with the particular access point to associate with a second and different access point. The disclosed system then provides, by the particular access point to the one or more devices, access to network resources.
