WIRELESS COMMUNICATION TERMINAL AND ROAMING METHOD
First Claim
1. A wireless communication terminal for roaming from a current access point (AP) to a destination AP within a plurality of APs, comprising:
- a detection module configured for detecting a current service quality parameter of each of the plurality of APs, a roaming frequency and a packet retransmission rate of the wireless communication terminal in a predetermined detection period;
a roaming policy regulating module configured for calculating a value of a radio quality index (RQI) according to the current service quality parameter of each of the plurality of APs, the roaming frequency and the packet retransmission rate of the wireless communication terminal, and regulating a roaming threshold of the current AP according to the value of the RQI; and
a roaming determining module configured for determining the destination AP that has satisfied a roaming condition corresponding to the value of the RQI.

Abstract
A wireless communication terminal roaming from a current access point (AP) to a destination AP within a plurality of APs includes various functional modules. The wireless communication terminal detects a current service quality parameter of each of the plurality of APs, a roaming frequency, and a packet retransmission rate of the wireless communication terminal in a predetermined detection period. Furthermore, the wireless communication terminal calculates a value of an RQI according to the current service quality parameter of each of the plurality of APs, the roaming frequency, and the packet retransmission rate of the wireless communication terminal, and regulates a roaming threshold of the current AP according to the value of the RQI and determines the destination AP that has satisfied a roaming condition corresponding to the value of the RQI.
