Abstract
Apparatuses, computer readable media, and methods for received signal strength indicator (RSSI) thresholds for transitions are disclosed. An apparatus comprising processing circuitry is disclosed, where the processing circuitry is configured to associate with a first access point (AP), the first AP being part of an extended service set (ESS), decode a frame from the first AP, the frame including an ESS report element, the ESS report element including a recommended basic service set (BSS) transition threshold within the ESS field, and decode a beacon frame from the first AP. The processing circuitry may be further configured to respond to a measured RSSI of the beacon frame being below a value indicated by the recommended BSS transition threshold within the ESS field, by initiating a transition to a second AP.
