In a wireless communication system comprising a mobile terminal and at least two access points, each access point is adapted to provide data communication with the mobile terminal within a service area of the access point through a wireless interface over a selected one of a number of channels. A method of controlling selection of an access point comprises controlling one or more further access points having service areas adjacent or overlapping with a service area of a first access point, to which a first mobile terminal is associated, to send probe request messages to the first mobile terminal, and determining, for each of the one or more further access points and from a response received from the first mobile terminal in response to the corresponding probe request message, a respective first value representing a quality of a connection between the respective access point and the first mobile terminal. Selected ones of the one or more further access points are controlled to accept a future association request from the first mobile terminal, while the not selected access points are controlled to reject a future association request from the mobile terminal. |
