Method and apparatus for dynamically switching an operating bandwidth of a wireless transceiver

摘要

Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with bandwidth switching are described. According to one embodiment, an apparatus includes a transceiver configured to operate at a first bandwidth. A bandwidth controller is configured to detect an operating condition of the apparatus and select a second bandwidth from a plurality of available bandwidths based on the operating condition, and cause the transceiver to temporarily operate at the second bandwidth and then cause the transceiver to subsequently operate at the first bandwidth.

1. An apparatus comprising:
a transceiver configured to operate at a first bandwidth; a bandwidth controller configured to
detect an operating condition of the apparatus;select a second bandwidth from a plurality of available bandwidths based on the operating condition; andcause the transceiver to temporarily operate at the second bandwidth and then cause the transceiver to subsequently operate at the first bandwidth; wherein the operating condition includes receiving a packet by the transceiver, wherein the packet is part of a group of packets; and in response to receiving the packet, the bandwidth controller is configured to
dynamically cause the transceiver to operate at the second bandwidth that has greater bandwidth than the first bandwidth until reception of the group of packets is complete, andcause the transceiver to operate at the first bandwidth after the reception is complete.
