ABSTRACT:
Handing off a node from a first access point to a second access point includes facilitating communication between a node and a network using a first access point. A handoff rule of one or more handoff rules is accessed. One or more handoff factors associated with the first access point and a second access point are determined. A handoff factor is relevant in deciding whether to handoff from the first access point to the second access point. The handoff rule is applied to the one or more handoff factors. Handoff of the node to the second access point is initiated if the one or more handoff factors satisfy the applied handoff rule.
