Patent number: 9877245Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for determining a threshold value for determining whether to steer a particular node (such as, a client device) from one node (such as, an access point ((AP)) to another node (such as, another AP). A particular node associated with a current node in a wireless environment is identified. One or more parameters associated with the particular node, the current node, a candidate node to which the particular node may be steered, and/or the wireless environment is identified. Based on the parameters, a threshold value is determined. The threshold value is the minimum improvement in quality of one or more links if the particular node is steered from the current node to the candidate node. If the improvement in quality is greater than the determined threshold value, then the particular node is steered to associate with the candidate node rather than the current node.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2016Date of Patent: January 23, 2018Assignee: KodaCloud Inc.Inventor: Subbu Ponnuswamy
