Abstract
In radio networks having a plurality of access points, for example WiFi, a wireless audio end device like for example a microphone or headphones is connected to an access point, to which it sends its audio data or from which it receives same. Audio transmission should occur as far as possible in interruption-free manner and with low latency. If the audio end device is moved the connection quality in relation to the previous access point can decrease and require scanning or roaming. In that respect first another base station is sought and then the radio connection is redirected there. In order in that case to avoid disruptive signal interruptions portions of the audio signal which can be particularly well predicted are detected or predicted by means of short-term statistical methods, like for example speech pauses. Scanning and roaming are then carried out during the predicted portions, whereby interruptions which are perceptible to a user are avoided.
