Abstract

Application bandwidth is dynamically throttled and/or stations are steered to different access points to maintain optimal QoE for stations on a wireless network. Responsive to a determination that the available bandwidth for the one or more applications is below a threshold for station QoE application minimum bandwidth, the current QoE station index is updated. Responsive to a determination that the current QoE station index is below a system determined QoE level, throttling the one or more applications of the station which were below a threshold for station QoE application bandwidth allocation or steering the station to a new access point.
