Abstract

A wireless cellular network includes an access point selector that selects an access point for forwarding data from a wireless device. When data is received with an unacceptable quality level, the access point selector queries other access points for the same data. The queried access points send data quality information to the access point selector. The access point selector uses the data quality information for selecting another one of the access points to forward data from the wireless device.
