Abstract
Provided are a system and method for setting an adaptive set of handoff parameters. The system includes a user terminal configured to transmit an authentication request to a network and receive a set of handoff parameters from the network; an access point (AP) belonging to the network and configured to receive the authentication request from the user terminal, transmit the authentication request to a central management server, receive the set of handoff parameters from the central management server, and transmit the set of handoff parameters to the user terminal; and the central management server, which is configured to store and manage a plurality of network-specific sets of handoff parameters for one or more networks, authenticate the user terminal using the authentication request received from the AP, and transmit a set of handoff parameters of a network to which the authenticated user terminal connects to the AP.
