Abstract

The disclosure is directed to an access terminal, and a method for selecting an access point in a communications system. The access terminal may include memory and a processor. The processor may be configured to maintain in the memory a database containing a list of access points that have previously served the access terminal with at least a minimum quality of service, the processor being further configured to use the list to search for an access point to associate with, or search for an access point to handoff the access terminal to during operation. In addition to, or alternatively, the processor may also be configured to maintain in the database a second list of access points. The database may be used by the processor to search for an access point that is not on the second list to associate with, or handoff the access terminal to.

Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of the invention patent application "Selection of Access Points in Communication System" with the filing date of August 24, 2007 and the application number of 200780031506.7. technical field [0002] The present disclosure relates generally to the field of telecommunications, and more particularly to selection of access points in communication systems. Background technique [0003] In wireless communication systems, a wireless access network may be used to connect many access terminals to a wide area network (WAN), such as the Internet or other packet-based networks. Access networks are typically implemented with many access points distributed throughout a geographic area. Each access point is the point used to provide access to one or more access terminals in its vicinity. In some implementations, the access network may be limited to using technologies such as Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX), Wirel...
