Wireless access points providing hybrid 802.11 and scheduled priority access communications |
摘要 |
Wireless access points providing hybrid 802.11 and scheduled priority access communications are provided herein. An exemplary wireless access point may be configured to communicate with a set of standard access clients using an 802.11 mode of communication during standard access phases, as well as communicate with a set of priority access clients during priority access phases, when the wireless access point is not communicating with the set of standard access clients, using a priority mode of communication. |

1. A computing device configured to communicate with a wireless access point using a media access control (MAC) protocol, the computing device comprising:
a processor; and a memory for storing a MAC protocol, wherein the MAC protocol is executed by the processor to:
receive a priority activation frame from the wireless access point;evaluate the priority activation frame received from the wireless access point to determine if a group identifier included in the priority activation frame corresponds to a group identifier assigned to the computing device by the wireless access point;communicate with the wireless access point, for a specified period of time specified in the priority activation frame, if the group identifier of the priority activation frame matches the group identifier of the computing device;receive a priority deactivation frame from the wireless access point;cease communication with the wireless access point after receiving the priority deactivation frame; andcommunicate with the wireless access point during standard access phases, which is after the specified period of time specified in the priority activation frame, using a standard 802.11 mode when the computing device is nomadic, the standard access phases not overlapping with a specified period of time specified in a priority activation frame. |
