Abstract

In a particular embodiment, a method of determining a handoff selection includes determining, at a first station, a direct link quality factor value associated with a direct link between the first station and a second station. The method also includes receiving one or more measurements from the second station. The one or more measurements correspond to one or more access points that are wirelessly detectable by the second station. The method also includes determining a particular access point of the one or more access points as a handoff target based on the one or more measurements.
