METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MULTIPLE BASIC AND EXTENDED SERVICE SET IDENTIFIERS IN WIRELESS LOCAL AREA NETWORKS

摘要

An improved system (10) and method using multiple basic and extended service set identifiers for a single radio in a wireless local area network is provided. The method includes the use of several basic service set identifiers for at least some access points (2), with associated mobile units (4, 6) associating an extended service set identifier with each virtual local area network, and assigning each of the extended service set identifiers and associated local area network to one basic service set identifier.
