Abstract: Disclosed herein are a method and system for aiding a station to roam to a new AP. The AP associates with the station and receives a table of the AP beacons the station detected prior to association. The AP sends a beacon report request with one or more condition requests to the station. The station responds by negotiating with the AP regarding the condition request. The AP then receives a beacon report from the station based on the negotiated condition request. Conditions to be negotiated include how often to report on the RF conditions of the station, the station's battery power, the station's traffic, and specific channels for sending the beacon report.
