Seamless channel switching coordinating method for use in wireless mesh network, involves sending channel change response message to channel master, and determining whether to change channel based on response message

摘要

The method involves sending a channel change intention message to one mesh point by a channel master, where the message indicates the channel master intention to change from one channel to another channel. The switching of the channel is determined by one mesh point upon reception of the channel change intention message. The channel change response message is sent by the mesh point to the channel master, and the change of the channel is determined by the channel master based on the channel change response message. An independent claim is also included for a mesh network comprising mesh points.
