ABSTRACT:
When a station is within range of at least one AP that advertises load information and at least one AP that does not advertise load information, the station selects the best AP in terms of probable data rate. The probable data rate is determined based on signal strength and mode by indexing into a predefined table or by utilizing an algorithm. The selection may be skewed in favor of APs which advertise load information.
