    Abstract: With multiple communication channels available and range extenders, a number of paths may be available for communicating traffic in a wireless network. Traffic on paths in the wireless network may be load balanced to improve channel utilization and/or relieve an overloaded communication channel. To load balance the traffic, a first AP may determine candidate paths between a first AP and a client device, wherein at least one of the candidate paths traverses a second AP. The AP may determine available bandwidths of the candidate paths based, at least in part, on availability of communication channels of the candidate paths. The AP may steer a portion of the wireless network traffic of the client device to a first of the candidate paths based, at least in part, on the available bandwidths.

    Abstract: A first access point (AP) detects a communication between a client device and a second AP. The first AP determines at least one criteria for AP steering is satisfied. AP steering is then used by the first AP to cause the client device to associate with the first AP, or a particular network of the first AP. For example, the first AP may transmit a disassociation message to the client device. The disassociation message may identify the second AP associated with the client device and cause the client device to disassociate from the second AP. After the client device disassociates from the second AP, the client device may select and associate with the first AP. The first AP may manage which network the client device associates with using a blacklist at the first AP.

    Abstract translation: 有了多个可用的通信信道和范围扩展器,许多路径可用于在无线网络中传输通信。 可以对无线网络中的路径上的业务进行负载平衡以改善信道利用率和/或减轻过载的通信信道。 为了对流量进行负载平衡,第一AP可以确定第一AP和客户端设备之间的候选路径,其中至少一个候选路径穿过第二AP。 AP可以至少部分地基于候选路径的通信信道的可用性来确定候选路径的可用带宽。 AP可以至少部分地基于可用带宽将客户端设备的无线网络业务的一部分引导至候选路径中的第一候选路径。
