HIGH-THROUGHPUT CHANNEL OPERATION IN A MESH WIRELESS LOCAL AREA NETWORK

摘要

HIGH THROUGHPUT CHANNEL OPERATION IN A MESH WIRELESS LOCAL AREA NETWORK (WLAN) IS DISCLOSED. A MESH NETWORK (100) COMPRISES A PLURALITY OF MESH POINTS (102-118) AND A NETWORK MANAGEMENT ENTITY (NME). THE NME (140) IS CONFIGURED TO RETRIEVE CAPABILITY AND CONFIGURATION DATA FROM THE MESH POINTS (102-118). THE NME CONFIGURES AT LEAST ONE MESH POINT WITH RESPECT TO IEEE 802.11N CHANNELIZATION AND LEGACY PROTECTION MODE BASED ON THE CAPABILITY AND CONFIGURATION DATA.
