1. A method for dynamic estimation of probability and initiation time for handover of a station (STA) in a wireless communication system having a serving access point (AP) and a plurality of neighboring APs, the method comprising:

  • determining the location of the STA and speed and direction of movement;

    reporting coordinates of cell boundaries of neighboring APs;

    the STA sending a request for system information to the serving AP;

    the serving AP providing the system information; and

    determining probability of handover to each neighboring AP and an estimate of the initiation time for handover based on the STA location and speed and direction of movement and the cell boundary coordinates.
