Multi-channel MAC method for WLAN devices with a single radio interface and system for implementing the same

摘要

A multi-channel media access control (MAC) method for Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) devices with single radio interface is provided. The method includes starting a channel coordination window (CCW) that is repeated with a period P, allocating an arbitrary WLAN device pair on a common channel to a destination channel by using a channel utilization vector that indicates whether each of N channels is occupied or available during CCW, and switching the arbitrary WLAN device pair to the destination channel.
