SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR WIRELESS BAND SWITCHING

摘要

Systems and methods are disclosed for coordinating operation on multiple frequency bands between two or more multiple concurrent band (MCB) devices. The band switch protocols may include sending information on a second band after a communications link has been established on a first band. The receiving device may treat the transmission of the frame on the new band as a message to switch bands, such that the transmitting and receiving devices may conduct subsequent communications on the new band. Further, the band switch protocols allow for seamless operation over the band switch event. As a result, a frequency band having desired performance characteristics may be selected dynamically.

主权项

1. A wireless communication device, comprising:
a first transceiver configured to communicate with a first network node over a first frequency band; a second transceiver configured to communicate with the first network node over a second frequency band; and a band selection manager configured to switch operation from the first frequency band to the second frequency band by transmitting over the second frequency band with the second transceiver after a communications link between the wireless communication device and the first network node is established on the first frequency band.
