Abstract
A method for communicating in a wireless environment is provided that includes obtaining, with an access point of a first network in the wireless environment, responsiveness data from at least one electronic device. The method also includes communicating with the at least one electronic device to determine availability of a second network in the wireless environment to the electronic device, and determining communication responsiveness through the first network based on the responsiveness data. The method also includes obtaining use data from the at least one electronic device related to the second network, determining communication responsiveness through the second network based on the use data, and disconnecting, with the access point, the at least one electronic device based on the communication responsiveness through the second network.
