INTELLIGENT LOAD BALANCING BANDWIDTH ALLOCATION FOR MULTIPLE INTERFACE WIRELESS DEVICES

摘要

A system and method is provided for intelligent bandwidth allocation in a wireless communication device supporting multiple interfaces. A wireless communications device operating in connection with a first communications interface and a second communications interface is capable of switching channels back and forth so as to receive beacons from both interfaces effectively and provide enough bandwidth for each interface for data traffic to continue without any observable interruptions.

主权项

1. A method of supporting multiple communication interfaces on a single wireless communications device, comprising:
calculating a first operational load ratio for a first communications interface of the multiple communication interfaces; calculating a second operational load ratio for a second communications interface of the multiple communication interfaces, the second communications interface operating concurrently with the first communications interface; and reallocating bandwidth to the first and second communications interfaces including modifying one or more of the first and second operational load ratios for the first and second communications interfaces until at least one of the first and second communication interfaces is operating at a full operational bandwidth.
