Abstract
In a terminal roaming steering method, a steering protocol supported by a terminal and a second AP are determined, and the terminal is steered, based on the steering protocol supported by the terminal, to roam from a first AP to the second AP.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- determining a steering protocol supported by a terminal connected to a first access point (AP), wherein the steering protocol is for steering the terminal to perform roaming;
- determining a second AP from at least one neighboring AP that neighbors the first AP;
- and
- steering, based on the steering protocol, the terminal to roam from the first AP to the second AP.

A control device comprising:
- a memory configured to store instructions;
- and
- a processor coupled to the memory and configured to execute the instructions to:
- determine a steering protocol supported by a terminal connected to a first access point (AP), wherein the steering protocol is for steering the terminal to perform roaming,
- determine a second AP from at least one neighboring AP that neighbors the first AP, and
- steer, based on the steering protocol, the terminal to roam from the first AP to the second AP.

A computer program product comprising instructions that are stored on a computer-readable medium and that, when executed by a processor, cause an apparatus to:
- determine a steering protocol supported by a terminal connected to a first access point (AP), wherein the steering protocol is for steering the terminal to perform roaming;
- determine a second AP from at least one neighboring AP that neighbors the first AP;
- and
- steer, based on the steering protocol, the terminal to roam from the first AP to the second AP.
