uniformly applied to all equipment being evaluated for roaming performance. Establishing
such definitions form a large part of the work of the 802.11t task group. Such formal measures
of roaming times can be very useful to system designers. They need to assign probabilities to a
roam which is taking so long that a voice call is dropped or to a dejittering buffer being under
run during a roam, among other things. There are several ongoing research studies related to
802.11, and this work will continue for many years in the future.
