Well if your talking about users on like the 2.4 and mobile users on the 5ghz, sure. You would need two separate SSID's and assign them to which ever radio but not really a good idea. That was how many home wireless routers/AP were initially made, but I just don't see why you would do it that way. If you wanted to split the different devices, just use different SSID's and allow then to choose what radios they will associate to. Some devices might only support the 2.4ghz and not the 5ghz so that limited you.

I don't believe so... the older access points had 3 modes
The new ones starting to use MIMO (Multiple-Input Multiple-Output)
http://www.quantenna.com/4x4-mimo.html <- a nice read.
I have not seen if you can split ssid per radio. - I could be wrong

This is what exactly i was looking for.. Actually i thought mobile users traffic would use seperate radio which would increase laptop users performance.. I could have stood in a wrong plan.. thanks for your clarification ...

It's possible but in practice, it's not "popular".
The reason is clients that CANNOT support 802.11 a/n.
