System and method for service differentiable radio resource management for wireless local area networks

A node configured to provide service differentiable radio resource management, RRM, in a wireless communication network, the node comprising:

• processing circuitry including a memory and a processor:
• the memory configured to store access point, AP, priority factors;
• and
• the processor configured to:
• define AP priority factors based on predefined criteria;
• perform an RRM optimization based on the priority factors, the optimization providing a measure of service to an AP that depends on a priority factor associated with the AP;
• and
• send configuration data to the APs based on the RRM optimization.
