System and method for a topology map related to access point usage in a wireless network

摘要

A method for wirelessly transmitting data under a wireless protocol is contemplated. An access point topology map is constructed or input. The topology map relates access points that have overlapping coverage areas, and thus, are prone to have remote devices travel between them. The relationships are used to send session parameters regarding a particular wireless device to the access points or gateways that border the zone in which the particular device is presently in. In this manner, information regarding the particular wireless device and open sessions may be present at such gateways or access points if and when the wireless device enters the zone that the gateway or access point is responsible for.
