ARCHITECTURE OF MULTI-ANCHOR SYSTEMS

摘要

A method and apparatus for a multi-anchor system to support simultaneous operation on multiple bands. A multi-anchor access point (AP) comprises a medium access control (MAC) entity with multiple anchors, wherein a multiple anchor carries system information for an associated band, multiple physical (PHY) layers, each of the multiple PHY layers associated with a different radio access technology, and a PHY layer selector switch, wherein the PHY layer selector switch directs the multiple anchors to one of the multiple PHY layers.
