SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MANAGEMENT OF WIRELESS CLIENTS

摘要

Systems and methods for band hopping and power conservation in a wireless network are described. At least one embodiment is directed a method of hopping channels by a device within a wireless network. The method comprises hopping from a first channel to a target channel, resetting a virtual carrier sense after hopping to the target channel to enable service on the target channel, waiting for a pre-determined period of time, and setting a virtual carrier sense on the target channel after expiration of the pre¬ determined period of time and prior to hopping to a next target channel.
