This application discloses a roaming steering method, an apparatus, a device, a storage medium, and a system. In this application, a reference roaming steering condition is determined by an access control device by performing, for a plurality of times, a roaming steering test on one or more terminals belonging to a reference model, and the reference model is a model of a target terminal. Therefore, the reference roaming steering condition is similar to a roaming rule in the target terminal. In this case, when a first access point device obtains the reference roaming steering condition and determines that the target terminal satisfies the reference roaming steering condition, even if the target terminal does not unconditionally obey roaming steering of the first access point device, there is a high probability that the target terminal is successfully steered to roam.

Deviations of signal strengths in a first frequency band from signal strengths in at least one second frequency band are predicted based on a trained machine-learning model (350′). At least one source signal strength map is obtained. The at least one source signal strength map describes signal strengths in the at least one second frequency band for a coverage area of the wireless communication network. Based on the at least one source signal strength map and the predicted deviations of signal strengths, at least one target signal strength map describing signal propagation in the first frequency band for the coverage area is determined.
