Abstract
Systems and techniques are described that are directed to intelligent scheduling of Wi-Fi services for applications, including enhanced dynamic prioritization. A device, such as an access point (AP), can receive data packets from multiple connected devices to dynamically identify an application flow for each data packet, and dynamically identify a user associated with the application flow for each data packet. The AP can generate prioritized candidate lists for selected data packets in queues corresponding to an access category (AC). In response to determining that the identified user associated with the application flow corresponds with a critical user, the AP can select data packets for the prioritized candidate lists based at least in part on priority policies for each of a plurality of applications and based at least in part on dynamic prioritization of applications for each of a plurality of applications; and schedule data packets from the prioritized candidate lists.
