Abstract

A terminal communicates with base stations by receiving a first beacon frame sent by a first base station, the first beacon frame including first location information representing a location of the first base station. In response to one of a determination that a distance between the first location information and second location information is greater than a first predetermined threshold or a determination that a difference between first received signal strength information and second received signal strength information is greater than a second predetermined threshold, the terminal sends first information to a network server, the first information causing the network server to select a base station that transmits downlink data to the terminal. The second location information represents a location of a second base station corresponding to a second beacon frame received before the first beacon frame is received.
