METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ALLOCATING CHANNELS IN A WIRELESS NETWORK

摘要

A method and system for allocating channels in a wireless network is provided. The wireless network includes a plurality of electronic devices organized into clusters. The plurality of electronic devices communicates with each other through a plurality of channels. The method performed by an electronic device includes scanning the plurality of channels for a frame generated in a first cluster and determining that the frame is a beacon frame transmitted by a first cluster header in the first cluster. Further, the method includes sending a channel request to the first cluster header and receiving a channel request response from the first cluster header. Moreover, the method includes designating the electronic device as a second cluster header for a second cluster.
