Abstract:
A method of controlling selection of an access point includes controlling one or more further access points having service areas adjacent or overlapping with a service area of a first access point, to which a first mobile terminal is associated, to send probe request messages to the first mobile terminal, and determining, for each of the one or more further access points and from a response received from the first mobile terminal in response to the corresponding probe request message, a respective first value representing a quality of a connection between the respective access point and the first mobile terminal. Selected ones of the one or more further access points are controlled to accept a future association request from the first mobile terminal, while the not selected access points are controlled to reject a future association request from the mobile terminal.

Claim (Index 2):
The method of claim 1 , wherein the wireless interface of each one of the candidate access points is initially set to a channel that is different from the channel over which the first mobile terminal is associated with the first access point, wherein, for each of the candidate access points and prior to sending the probe request message to the first mobile terminal, the method further includes:\n switching the wireless interface to the channel over which the first mobile terminal is associated with the first access point, and, upon expiration of a predetermined time after sending the probe request message or upon receiving a response to the probe request message, switching to the channel that was initially set.
