Abstract:
A method, system and apparatus for selecting an access point includes detecting a location and direction of motion of a mobile device, detecting a strength of signal from candidate access points and determining a location of such access points based upon at least one of the (i) location and direction of motion of the mobile device, (ii) access point location information known to the mobile device, and (iii) monitoring of the change in detected signal strength from candidate access points that occurs upon the movement of the mobile device. Embodiments of the system and apparatus way include a mobile terminal device or may include such a device and a plurality of access points that provide access to a network, such as a base station or a router that provide access to an enterprise network or a local area network that is connected to the internet.

Claim (Index 39):
The communication apparatus of  claim 38 , comprising:\n a third access point configured to provide a third coverage area for access to the network via wireless communication with the third access point; and wherein the mobile communication terminal is also configured to monitor a third signal strength of the third access point to determine whether the signal strength for the third access point changes during movement of the mobile communication terminal such that the mobile communication terminal determines that the third signal strength increases and the first and second signal strengths decrease as the mobile communication terminal moves; the mobile communication terminal configured to determine that the third access point provides improved connectivity to the network as compared to the second access point after the mobile communication terminal communicated with the second access point for registering with the second access point for accessing the network when within the second coverage area based upon the monitored first, second and third signal strengths and the speed and at least one of the location of the mobile communication terminal and the direction of motion in which the mobile communication terminal is moving; the mobile communication terminal configured to select-the third access point for subsequent communications to register with the third access point for accessing the network via the third access point in response to the determining that the third access point provides improved connectivity to the network as compared to the second access point; and the mobile communication terminal configured to communicate with the third access point to register with the third access point for accessing the network in response to the selection of the third access point.
