Access point assisted roaming
In embodiments of access point assisted roaming, a mobile device, such as a mobile phone, tablet computer, or other portable device is implemented for wireless connection with access points, such as Wi-Fi access points. An access point controller can receive a request for a neighbor report from the mobile device, and also obtain a travel direction of the mobile device. The access point controller is implemented to determine access points that are each configured for a wireless connection with a communication system of the mobile device, where a wireless connection with an access point is based in part on a detected signal strength of an access point. The access point controller can then generate the neighbor report that lists one or more of the access points in order of connection likelihood and based on the travel direction of the mobile device.
