Abstract
Systems and methods for a wireless device to determine whether to associate with a wireless access point in view of a historical location-based record to predict a probability for a future location state based on a historical dwell time of the historical location-based record. Some examples include a wireless device receiving information for a location with multiple access points, where the location has a plurality of rooms, and the information includes historical proximity records of wireless stations associated with each of the multiple access points, and current proximity metrics for at least one of the multiple access points.
