ARRANGEMENT FOR SYNCHRONIZING ACCESS POINTS IN WLAN USING DIRECT-SEQUENCE SPREAD SPECTRUM SIGNALING

摘要

An arrangement for providing synchronization between a number of overlapping area access points within a wireless LAN utilizes an Ethernet cable connection to transmit synchronization signals from a centralized hub/switch to each of the access points connected to the cable. The synchronization signal takes the form of a direct sequence spread spectrum (DS-SS) signal.
