Smart roaming to avoid time-outs during WLAN association |
摘要 |
A method and system for wirelessly connecting a client device to a wireless network's access point. When a first client device detects a Wireless Broadcast Storm During Active Scan Association (WBSDAASA) caused by a large block of other client devices attempting to simultaneously wirelessly connect to the access point using an active scan, the first client device switches to either a passive scan or a random roam active scan to connect the first client device to the access point. The first client device is thus able to avoid a connection live-lock caused by the WBSDAASA.
