Abstract

A method () and system () 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 (), the access points () continuously or at intervals assess the wireless environment's quality and report to a control entity (). The control entity () determines, from the assessment data, alternative target access points () that could be used in case the link quality of a current connection between an access point () and the station () falls below a predefined value. The control entity () then instructs the access point () to actively disconnect the station () and selects a new target access point () to accept the stations () connection request.
