Procedimientos y sistemas para reducir la latencia de handover o traspaso de capa MAC en redes inalámbricas

摘要

In accordance with the present invention, computer implemented methods and systems are provided for reducing handoff latency in a wireless network. In response to detecting that a handoff is necessary, the present invention uses a selective scanning algorithm that includes the use of a channel mask and/or a caching algorithm for detecting one or more new access points.
