#define ROAMING_RSSI_DIFF   10

The ROAMING_RSSI_DIFF setting defines how much better than the currently associated AP a new AP must be before we'll attempt to roam over to the new AP. If ROAMING_RSSI_DIFF is too high it might be too hard to roam (important if the STA is expected to move quickly through different AP coverage areas). If ROAMING_RSSI_DIFF is too low we might bounce between two APs with similar signal strengths. Unit is dBm.

#define ROAMING_RSSI_THRESHOLD   -65

Roaming configuration parameters.

The ROAMING_RSSI_THRESHOLD setting defines how bad the current signal strength should be before we'll consider roaming to an AP with better signal strength. The objective is to stay on the current AP as long as the RSSI is decent, even if there are other APs in the same BSS with better RSSI available. If ROAMING_RSSI_THRESHOLD is too high we might roam unecessarily. If ROAMING_RSSI_THRESHOLD is too low we might not roam in time to avoid packet loss. This also impacts power consumption, staying too long with an AP with poor RSSI will consume more power. Unit is dBm.
