Abstract

See full text

A method (30) and system (10) for controlling wireless local area network (WLAN) user quality in a multi-access point environment is provided. In order to ensure good quality of service/user experience in a multi-access point Wi-Fi™ setup in which a user roams with a station (14), the access points (11, 12) continuously or at intervals assess the wireless environment's quality and report to a control entity (13). The control entity (13) determines, from the assessment data, alternative target access points (11, 12) that could be used in case the link quality of a current connection between an access point (11) and the station (14) falls below a pre-defined value. The control entity (13) then instructs the access point (11) to actively disconnect the station (14) and selects a new target access point (12) to accept the stations (14) connection request.
