METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR STATION LOCATION BASED NEIGHBOR DETERMINATION AND HANDOVER PROBABILITY ESTIMATION
摘要
The present invention is a method and system for station location based neighbor determination and handover probability estimation. A serving access point determines the location and movement measurements of a station (STA). Neighboring access points report coordinates of cell fringes of the neighboring access points. The STA sends a request for system information to the current access point along with current location of the STA. The current access point provides the system information, and the STA utilizes the system information to determine best handover candidate from among neighboring access points and an estimate of the time for handover.
