Real-time applications are sensitive to conditions such as transmission delay and jittering. To cut down on the influence generated by the WLAN handoff process, three parts of WLAN （wireless local area networks） handoff： handoff triggering, access point selection and the fast handoff algorithm are investigated. A fast handoff solution totally based on the station is proposed and it is composed of three parts： a handoff triggering mechanism based on dynamic threshold adjustment; an AP selection criterion based on probe delay; a fast handoff algorithm with differentiated channel selection and a dynamic cache. The station based solution is independent with AP＇s collaboration and avoids any changes in the IEEE 802. l l protocol. It is robust and has very good extensibility. Through tests and evaluation in a hotspot WLAN, the solution effectively reduces handoff latency and user experience of real-time applications is enhanced.
