Roaming Sensitivity Level
If you are implementing this, here is how the "product" performs at different settings:
| Scenario | Recommended RSL | Reasoning | |----------|----------------|------------| | Streaming 4K video (train) | 0.8 | High volatility, need quick roam | | VoIP call (office) | 0.4 | Moderate, avoid mid-call handover | | Sensor node (factory) | 0.1 | Stability over reactivity | | Emergency responder | 0.95 | Always seek best link | | Idle smartphone | 0.2 | Save battery, no urgency | roaming sensitivity level
Roaming—the process of transitioning a connection from one access point or service domain to another—is fundamental to mobile networks, IoT, and autonomous systems. Traditional roaming decisions rely on static thresholds (e.g., RSSI < -75 dBm triggers a scan). However, such rigidity fails in dynamic environments. Two identical signal drops may require opposite responses depending on user context, application sensitivity, or historical network reliability. If you are implementing this, here is how
If you have a Mesh system or multiple Access Points, ignoring this setting means you are not getting the hardware's full value. Two identical signal drops may require opposite responses
