  • Patent number: 8654741
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for selecting an access point (AP) to communicate with from a plurality of candidate access points (APs) when a wireless communication device (WCD) roams in a wireless local area network (WLAN). The WCD can determine whether a particular link quality metric (e.g., a signal strength indicator value) of a particular preferred access point (that has the highest link quality metric) is greater than an upper threshold. If so, the WCD can then create a preferred candidate list that comprises only preferred access points, and determine whether a current serving access point of the wireless communication device is a preferred access point. If the current serving access point is not a preferred access point, the WCD can initiate a roam to the particular preferred access point that has the strongest link quality metric.
