Abstract
A system for optimizing communications on a plurality of wireless local area networks (WLAN)s each supporting wireless communications between a wireless access point (WAP) node and associated station nodes. The system includes: a link aggregator, a link categorizer and a link protocol identifier. The link aggregator is configured to aggregate information about communication links across all the WLANs including communication parameters associated with each link. The link categorizer is coupled to the link aggregator and configured to categorize the aggregated communication links by at least the station type associated therewith. The link protocol identifier is coupled to the link categorizer, and configured to identify any variations in the communication parameters utilized by the various WLANs for communication links with stations of a selected type, and further to identify any such variations in the communication parameters associated with relatively higher throughput to the stations of the selected type.
