Abstract

An approach is provided for cognitive control of channel bandwidth. Devices connected to access point(s) of a network are detected. Locations of the devices are detected. Based on (i) the devices being connected to the access point(s) and (ii) the locations of the devices, a gathering of people is detected as a group of users who are operating the detected devices at a current time within a geographical area that includes the locations of the devices. Data access patterns of the devices are detected. Based on the detected data access patterns and the gathering of people being detected, a quality of service class identifier (QCI) is updated from a normal setting to a new setting to satisfy bandwidth requirements of the devices.
