Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for determining network congestion. A wireless communications device may identify available networks and assess a congestion parameter for each wireless channel associated with those networks. Assessing congestion on a given channel may include identifying all access points operating on the channel and monitoring traffic associated with each access point. By performing this assessment for each channel, the channel exhibiting minimum congestions may then be selected.
