Abstract
A method and apparatus are provided for access point selection in wireless communication systems, such as wireless LANs. A disclosed wireless communication device includes a roaming process that selects an access point based on a measure of correlation on a channel to one or more surrounding access points. The roaming process selects an access point, for example, having the lowest correlation value. The roaming process may also consider the signal quality, channel delay spread or both in selecting an access point.
