Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable executing a network provided with plural data transfer rates by evaluating the performance of mobile units, scanning the most appropriate access point by means of a set interval, when the performance is lower than a threshold and relating it with the most adequate access point by means of the highest data rate. SOLUTION: When each precise packet response(PPR) is received, the quality of a response signal is evaluated and updated, by measuring a reception signal strength display(RSSI). Appropriate group of the access points lower than the best detection RSSI value is selected, and each mobile unit executes full-scanning and inspects all channels with precision. A prefetching shift for adjusting a dynamic load is enabled in a system, and re-relating with the new access point is enabled. Thus, a possibility in which the mobile unit being unable to communicate with any one of the access points and experiences a period without communication is avoided.

Abstract: A communications network comprising a cellular local area wireless network includes a plurality of access points (5) connected to a house computer (4) and each other, and a plurality of mobile units (2) each mobile unit being arranged for association with an access point. The mobile units are arranged to periodically scan for and identify the most eligible access point for association on the basis of the criteria of best quality signal strength and loading factor. In order to identify when mobile units are being removed from a predetermined area, access points having directional antennae (22) are situated adjacent exit points (21) to detect when mobile units are in a vicinity.

Abstract: A data communications network including a number of stationary access points and a number of mobile units. Each mobile unit is configured to scan for and select a most eligible access point for association therewith on the basis of received access point signal quality and loading factors at the access point. A physical area is defined within which all mobile units must be kept and access points are provided adjacent the exit points) from the physical area.
