Method and apparatus for handoff between two stations of a wireless local area network/wireless wide area network (WLAN/WWAN) wherein a terminal, communicating with a first station, scans for a second station when its connection with said first station is lost, or for any other reasons, and establishes communication with a second station. The establishment of communication with the second station includes determining that the second station is different from the first station; associating with the second station; forwarding the identity of the first station to the second station; and using the identity of the first station to continue the original session through the second station. The handoff is equally successful when the stations involved in the handoff are both in the same network or wherein the stations are in different networks.

L'invention concerne un procédé et un appareil permettant de réaliser un transfert entre deux stations d'un réseau local sans fils/réseau étendu sans fils (WLAN/WWAN). Selon ladite invention, un terminal communiquant avec une première station recherche une seconde station lorsque sa connexion avec ladite première station est perdue ou pour toute autre raison et établit une communication avec une seconde station. Pour établir la communication avec la seconde station, ce terminal doit déterminer que cette seconde station est différente de la première, correspondre avec cette seconde station, retransmettre l'identité de la première station à la seconde station et utiliser l'identité de la première station pour poursuivre la session d'origine par l'intermédiaire de la seconde station. La réussite du transfert est la même que les stations impliquées dans le transfert se trouvent dans le même réseau ou dans des réseaux différents.
