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 1):
A method of controlling association of a mobile terminal to an access point in a wireless communication system comprising at least two access points, each access point being adapted to provide data communication with the mobile terminal within a service area of the access point through a wireless interface over a selected one of a number of channels, the method comprising:\n one or more candidate access points having a service area adjacent or overlapping with a service area of a first access point to which a first mobile terminal is associated, receiving a command to send probe request messages to the first mobile terminal; each of the one or more candidate access points determining, 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 candidate access point and the first mobile terminal; each of the one or more candidate access points receiving a command controlling the respective candidate access point to selectively accept or reject a future association request issued by the first mobile terminal.
