Dynamically adjusting wireless station connections in a co-located access point system

A method for equalizing an average throughput of a plurality of wireless communication network access points, the plurality of wireless communication network access points being positioned with respect to each other in order to provided increased wireless capacity to a plurality of wireless stations operating in an area, each wireless communication network access point having a respective average throughput value and at least one control parameter, the at least one control parameter controlling wireless connectivity at the wireless communication network access point, the method comprising:

• determining an average throughput value received from each of the plurality of wireless communication network access points;
• determining a first wireless communication network access point for configuration based on the average throughput values received from each of the plurality of wireless communication network access points;
• setting the at least one control parameter of the determined first wireless communication network access point to at least one threshold value to effect equalization of the average throughput values among the plurality of wireless communication network access points;
• and
• causing transmission of the set at least one control parameter to the determined first wireless communication network access point.

A controller for equalizing an average throughput of a plurality of wireless communication network access points, the plurality of wireless communication network access points being positioned with respect to each other in order to provided increased wireless capacity to a plurality of wireless stations operating in an area, each wireless communication network access point having a respective average throughput value and at least one control parameter, the at least one control parameter controlling wireless connectivity at the wireless communication network access point, the controller comprising:

• a configuration module, the configuration module configured to:
• determine an average throughput value received from each of the plurality of wireless communication network access points;
• determine a first wireless communication network access point for configuration based on the average throughput values received from each of the plurality of wireless communication network access points;
• set at least one control parameter of the determined first wireless communication network access point to at least one threshold to effect equalization of the average throughput values;
• and
• a communication module, the communication module configured to transmit the set at least one control parameter to the determined first wireless communication network access point.
