Abstract
This disclosure provides a method for determining a terminal in a sticky state. The method includes: determining whether a roaming target determination is supported for a terminal by a first AP; performing an operation for the roaming target determination based on determining that the roaming target determination is supported; performing at least one of determining that the terminal is in a first sticky state based on a determination that the terminal is not connected to a second AP according to a roaming target suggestion of the first AP, based on a finding of one or more roaming targets by the operation; or determining that the terminal is in a second sticky state based on a strength of a signal between the terminal and the first AP being smaller than a first strength threshold, based on determining that the roaming target determination is not supported or a failure of the operation.
