Abstract

A method, mobile station, and software product are used to select an access point in a wireless local area network for access by the mobile station. This is accomplished by calculating a preference value for each of a plurality of the access points, based upon information regarding current communication characteristics of the access points. That information includes physical signal characteristics of the access points, and current channel loads of the access points, and also the traffic type affecting the current channel loads of the respective access points. The information about channel loads is weighted differently based upon the corresponding traffic types, and may also be calculated differently depending upon whether or not the mobile station is set up to utilize multimedia traffic.
