Abstract
This disclosure provides a method for ping pong roaming control performed by an access point (AP), a method for ping pong roaming control performed by a controller, an AP, a controller, a non-transitory computer readable storage medium and a computer program product for processing/identifying ping pong roaming. The method for ping pong roaming control, performed by an AP includes: determining association switching behaviors of a station (STA) based on association and/or disassociation behaviors of the STA; identifying one or more connection instability events of the STA based on the association switching behaviors of the STA; and reporting at least one of the one or more connection instability events of the STA to a controller for the controller to identify a ping pong roaming event of the STA between multiple APs.
