Abstract
The present invention provides a method for handover between access points, and terminal equipment. The method includes: when performing information transmission with a first access point AP on a first frequency band, determining whether the terminal equipment needs to establish a connection with a second AP which is a second frequency band; determining, by the terminal equipment, whether the first AP and the second AP are corresponding to a same dual-band radio access device; sending, by the terminal equipment, a connection request to the second AP when maintaining a protocol layer connection with the first AP; and establishing, by the terminal equipment, the connection with the second AP when the second AP send feedback. In the method, duration required by a process of handover between access points can be reduced, and a user is made not perceive the handover process, thereby improving user experience.
