Control of Frequency Channel Between Wireless Access Points According to Sequence

摘要

Embodiments herein relate to transferring control of a frequency channel between wireless access points (WAP) according to a sequence where the frequency channel is part of an industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) radio band. Each of the WAPs transfers control of the same frequency channel according to a sequence. The transfer of control in the sequence occurs between adjacent WAPs, and the first and last WAPs in the sequence are adjacent to each other.

主权项

1. A wireless network, comprising:
a first wireless access point (WAP) using a frequency channel usable by a second WAP that is part of an industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) radio band, wherein the first WAP is to transfer control of the frequency channel to the second WAP according to a sequence, the first WAP is adjacent to the second WAP if the second WAP is at least one of a next WAP and an initial WAP in the sequence, and the first WAP is a final WAP of the sequence if the second WAP is the initial WAP in the sequence.
