Method and a system for bandwidth aggregation in an access point

摘要

A method and a system for providing communication between at least one wireless client device through a connectivity to a corresponding dedicated access point, as well as locating and recognizing a plurality of neighboring access points, the method including notifying, by the dedicated access point, a predetermined absence period to a wireless client device to which the dedicated access point communicates, the dedicated access point becoming a client to a second access point during the predetermined absence period, receiving, by the dedicated access point as a client, data corresponding to a backhaul bandwidth of the at least second access point and aggregating the received backhaul data from the second access point to the dedicated access point's own backhaul data, and sending, by the dedicated access point, the aggregated backhaul bandwidth data to the wireless client device after the predetermined absence period has lapsed.

主权项

1. A method for bandwidth aggregation in a dedicated access point, said method comprising providing communication to at least one wireless client device through a connectivity to said corresponding dedicated access point, as well as locating and recognizing a plurality of neighboring access points, wherein the method comprises:
a) notifying, by said dedicated access point, a predetermined absence period to said at least one wireless client device to which said dedicated access point provides communication; b) during said predetermined absence period, said dedicated access point becoming a client to at least a second access point of said plurality of neighboring access points; c) receiving, by said dedicated access point as a client, backhaul data corresponding to a backhaul bandwidth of said at least second access point and aggregating said received backhaul data from said at least second access point to said dedicated access point's own backhaul data; and d) sending, by said dedicated access point, said aggregated backhaul data to said at least one wireless client device after the predetermined absence period has lapsed, said at least one wireless client device communicates only with said dedicated access point from among said plurality of neighboring access points during the sending of said aggregated backhaul data.
