The present invention provides a
wireless local area network handover method based on fuzzy rules, the method comprises: the mobile stationS1: receives the
beacon frames sent in predefined time interval from the current associated access point and the adjacent access point during a preset time period, obtains and stores
signal strength of two access points through
beacon frames;S2: performs fuzzy
processing to the value of
signal strength of the current access point and the adjacent access point and the change rate of
signal strength respectively, then obtains
fuzzy data characterizing levels of
signal strength and the change rate of
signal strength;S3: performs
fuzzy reasoning taking the
fuzzy data as the input according to a preset fuzzy rules, obtains a reasoning output variables which contain
handover modes of the
mobile station, and determine the target access point according to the reasoning outputs;S4: the
mobile station authenticates with the target access point;S5: the
mobile station sends the re-association request frame to the target access point after passing through the
authentication; the
handover is completed when the establishment of the re-association is finished after the mobile
station receives the re-association response frame.According to the method of the present invention, the mobile
station can automatically adjust the handover mechanism according to
signal strength of the current access point and the adjacent point and change rate of signal strength and the better handover performance can therefore be achieved.
