    摘要: A method for switching a connection of a mobile Wi-Fi station from a first access point of a plurality of Wi-Fi access points to a second access point of the plurality. The method includes: establishing a logic link between the station and a carrier of the station, on the basis of a comparison between a first position of the carrier and at least one value in relation to a signal transmitted by the station; performing a switching decision on the basis of a second position of the carrier.

    Improved switching between physical access points sharing the same virtual access point identifier

    摘要: A method for managing switching of a terminal between a plurality of physical access points to a Wi-Fi network, a virtual access point identifier dedicated to the terminal being assigned by a controller to a first physical access point, the terminal associating with the first physical access point by a first connection using the virtual access point identifier. The method includes at the first access point: transmitting, from the first physical access point to the controller, information relating to the capabilities of the terminal, receiving an order to switch from the first connection to a second connection established between the terminal and a second physical access point of the plurality using the same virtual access point identifier, the first and the second connections being adapted to the capabilities of the terminal.
