ABSTRACT:
A communication system with a plurality of access points (AP1, AP2,AP3) and at least one network station (5, 6), the network station (5, 6) being arranged to communicate with one of the plurality of access points (AP1, AP2,AP3) through a wireless communication protocol, each access point (AP1, AP2,AP3) is able to monitor its access point traffic load and transmit an access point traffic load parameter (ATT) to the network station (5, 6), and the network station (5, 6) is able to monitor its network station traffic load; store a network station traffic load parameter (AUTT); receive access point traffic load parameters (ATT) from the access points (AP1, AP2,AP3); and select a communication connection with one of the access points (AP1,AP2,AP3) using a predetermined cost function taking the access point traffic load parameters (ATT) and the network station traffic load parameters (AUTT) into account.
