Simultaneous Multi-Mode WiFi Differentiated By SSID

摘要

Embodiments provide a wireless network with several access points connected to a communication infrastructure. Residential or business customers of the Internet are provided an Internet interface (e.g., a digital subscriber line (DSL) modem) having a wireless transceiver. Two or more users may access the Internet or other network through the Internet interface. Each user can be assigned a unique Service Set-Identifier (SSID) with each SSID associated with a type of service (e.g., user video service, backhaul service, etc.). The amount of bandwidth assigned to the type of service (and user) may be governed by the equipment according to the assigned SSID.

1. A wireless access point for use in a multi-mode wireless network, the wireless access point comprising:
a wireless access point component, the wireless access point component wirelessly communicating with a second wireless access point and a third wireless access point, wherein the second wireless access point is associated with a first SSID and provided a first portion of bandwidth by the wireless access point component based on the first SSID, and wherein the third wireless access point is associated with a second SSID and provided a second portion of bandwidth by the wireless access point component based on the second SSID; and a NID in communication with the wireless access point component, the NID receiving first data from a network and sending the first data to the second wireless access point and receiving second data from the third wireless access point and sending the second data to the network.
