Method for transmitting frames in a wireless local area network, a circuit including an input and an output, and a WLAN system with a bridge access point and a repeater access point

摘要

On the case of receiving data frame from a station, the method of the present invention instructs the repeater to replace the content of the receiver address field by the address of the bridge when receiving the frame transmitted from the station, and then forwards the frames to the bridge. On the case of receiving a data frame transmitted from the bridge, the repeater can replace the content of transmitter address field by the address of the repeater itself, and then forwards the data frame to the station.

主权项

1. A circuit comprising:
a first input adapted to receive a first frame transmitted wirelessly from a station of a wireless local area network, wherein the first frame includes a first basic service set identifier in a first field, a first source address in a second field and a first destination address in a third field, wherein the circuit is adapted to replace the first basic service set identifier in the first field of the first frame with a second basic service set identifier of an access point to establish a replaced first frame without using a fourth field of the first frame while maintaining the first source address and the first destination address; and a first output adapted to transfer the replaced first frame to the access point, wherein the circuit is a bridge or a repeater in the wireless local area network; and wherein the access point is a bridge or a repeater in the wireless local area network.
