ABSTRACT:
A network with wireless links is a dynamic learning system which allows a mobile (wireless) unit to determine which access point (wired) unit provides the mobile unit with the best communications as the mobile unit roams within an area and from area to area. As a mobile unit enters a new area, it scans the area to find an access point unit. After the mobile unit is verified by the access point unit, the mobile unit receives updated information about other access points in the area, including information indicating which access point units are within wireless transmission range of the mobile unit as well as multiple values indicating a communication range for a particular access point unit to the mobile unit. The information is updated as the system gathers new information through the mobile units and access point units within the system area. The more mobile units that enter and leave the area, the more information is gathered by the access point units functioning in the system and the more information the system learns. A mobile unit can also decide to switch to a new access point unit when the quality of service degrades by accessing information about access point units within the system.
