METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR IMPROVING CHANNEL ACQUISITION

摘要

A method and apparatus for improving channel acquisition times are disclosed. For example, the method includes receiving at a router a data stream destined to one or more subscribers. Then, the method generates at said router at least one new access point in between two access points of said data stream. The method concludes by forwarding said at least one new access point upon detecting a request from a subscriber for receiving said data stream.
