Systems and methods for management of wireless clients

摘要

Systems and methods for band hopping and power conservation in a wireless network are described. At least one embodiment is directed a method of hopping channels by a device within a wireless network. The method comprises hopping from a first channel to a target channel, resetting a virtual carrier sense after hopping to the target channel to enable service on the target channel, waiting for a pre-determined period of time, and setting a virtual carrier sense on the target channel after expiration of the pre-determined period of time and prior to hopping to a next target channel.

主权项

1. A method of controlling a device within a wireless network, comprising:
sending a Power Save Multi-Poll (PSMP) frame to enable service on a target channel; waiting for a pre-determined period of time; and setting a virtual carrier sense on the target channel after expiration of the pre-determined period of time and prior to hopping to a next target channel, wherein the device sends a Broadcast Probe Response (BPR) on the target channel to assist clients scanning for the device to locate the channel in which the device is currently located.
