SUPPORTING SIMULTANEOUS COMMUNICATION INTERFACES

摘要

A system and method of creating more than one communication interface between a wireless device using a single, dual-radio transceiver by leveraging the basic service set (BSS) and radio measurement information. A wireless device operating in multiple-in, multiple-put (MIMO) mode maintains a first communications interface with an access point while establishing a second communications interface by downgrading the existing MIMO connection to a single-in, single-out (SISO) connection. The downgrading of the MIMO connection to a SISO connection frees up a radio signal processing chain to establish a second communications interface utilizing the BSS and radio measurement information from the first communications interface.

1. A method of creating multiple communication interfaces in a first wireless device, the method comprising:
establishing a first communications interface between the first wireless device and an access point; collecting basic service set (BSS) and radio measurement information of the first communications interface; and establishing a second communications interface from the first wireless device to a second wireless device by sharing the collected BSS and radio measurement information.
