SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DYNAMIC BAND SWITCHING

摘要

Systems and methods for dynamically switching between frequency bands as a result of a detected condition that has the potential to degrade performance on the current band of operation. An access point having the capability to operate on multiple bands provides information necessary to form a communication link on a different band of operation, such as the channel of operation and any security credentials. Accordingly, a device that is associated with the access point on one frequency band may first receive the alternate band switching information and subsequently dynamically switch to a different band of operation using the alternate band information.

主权项

1. A wireless communication device, comprising:
a first transceiver configured to communicate with a first network node over a first frequency band; a second transceiver configured to communicate with the first network node over a second frequency band; and a band manager configured to process alternate band information, wherein the alternate band information is communicated using the first transceiver and enables communication with the first network node over the second frequency band.
