A base station comprises a radio port cluster and a switch/router. Instead of passively following the order from a client terminal, the WiFi base station plays the major role in a hand-over process. The base station will monitor the client terminal signal strength and negotiate with other base stations for the client terminal connection including authentication and authorization. When the client terminal's signal strength is changing, the base station will send out a request to other base stations to report signal strength and trend of this particular client terminal. Based on reported signal strength and trend, a determination is made as to which of the other base stations should take over the servicing of the client terminal. The authentication is then forwarded to this base station.
