A METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SELECTING ONE OF A PLURALITY OF MULTI-BAND ACCESS POINTS (APS) TO ASSOCIATE WITH A MULTI-BAND WIRELESS TRANSMIT/ RECEIVE UNIT (WTRU) ARE DISCLOSED. THE MULTI-BAND APS BROADCAST FREQUENCY BAND INFORMATION REGARDING MULTIPLE FREQUENCY BANDS ON WHICH THE MULTI-BAND AP IS CONFIGURED TO OPERATE. THE MULTI-BAND WTRU SELECTS A PARTICULAR MULTI- BAND AP TO ASSOCIATE WITH AND A FREQUENCY BAND TO USE TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE SELECTED MULTI-BAND AP BASED ON THE FREQUENCY BAND INFORMATION. IF THE MULTI-BAND WTRU RECEIVES FREQUENCY BAND INFORMATION FROM THE SELECTED MULTI-BAND AP WHICH INDICATES THAT A CHARACTERISTIC, (E.G., THROUGHPUT, PATH LOSS, LOAD, CAPACITY, BACKHAUL), OF THE SELECTED FREQUENCY BAND IS UNACCEPTABLE, THE MULTI-BAND WTRU DETERMINES WHETHER TO DISASSOCIATE WITH THE SELECTED MULTI-BAND AP OR TO CONTINUE TO ASSOCIATE WITH THE SELECTED MULTI-BAND AP VIA A DIFFERENT FREQUENCY BAND. |
