Benefits of technology

[0005] The invention relates, in an embodiment, to a method for reducing data loss when a client device performs a handoff from a first radio station to a second radio station. The method includes detecting imminence of the handoff using one or more criteria. The method also includes buffering incoming data upon the imminence of the handoff to generate buffered incoming data, the incoming data being addressed to the client device. The method further includes transmitting the buffered incoming data to the client device through the second radio station if the handoff is completed and if the buffered incoming data is not discarded.

Embodiment Construction

[0065] The invention is described with reference to specific apparatus and embodiments. Those skilled in the art will recognize that the description is for illustration and to provide the best mode of practicing the invention. For example, while references are made to certain communication protocols, others are anticipated by the invention. For instance, while Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11) is described as a protocol for wireless communication, other protocols may be implemented in the invention. References made herein to the mobility client, client device, and mobile equipment (ME) are equivalent.

[0066] Various embodiments are described herein below, including methods and techniques. It should be kept in mind that the invention might also cover an article of manufacture that includes a computer readable medium on which computer-readable instructions for carrying out embodiments of the inventive technique are stored. The computer readable medium may include, for example, semiconductor, magnet...
