Abstract
A method of controlling a connection of a station to different access points (AP) in roaming, in which the station is connected to a first AP through identification of basic service set context (BSS context), includes the following steps: a) Obtain received signal strength indications (RSSI) between the station and each access point. b) Copy the BSS context of the first AP to a second AP when the RSSI between the station and the first AP is less than RSSI between the station and the second AP; and c) disconnect the station from the first AP, and automatically connect the station to the second AP which has the same BSS context.
