Abstract
A Wi-Fi controller uses access point scan reports and station scan reports on a LAN to generate a global station report, and list each station with respect to an RSSI value of each nearby access point from the plurality of access points. From the global station report, proactively determines that an RSSI value for the specific Wi-Fi 6E station to at a least one preferred access point to be better than the current access point. In response, the Wi-Fi controller notifies the station via the current access point transmitting a self-initiated BTM-REQ Action frame, and also notifies the at least one preferred access point, about a proactive fast BSS transition.
