Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to a method, apparatus and computer medium for switching a user terminal, and an access point. The method may be performed by an access point capable of operating in at least a first band and a second band, and comprises the following steps: in response to determining that a user terminal being in the first band of the access point satisfies a condition for inter-band switching, measuring a communication performance of the user terminal in the first band as a first metric; after the user terminal is switched from the first band to the second band of the access point, measuring a communication performance of the user terminal in the second band as a second metric; and causing the user terminal to be in the band associated with a better one of the first metric and the second metric. The user terminal can be connected to a band with a better communication performance by comparing the communication performance before and after the switching, thereby avoiding the occurrence of erroneous switching.
