Channel selecting method using remote scanning and wireless local area network system thereof

摘要

A channel selecting method for a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) using remote scanning and a WLAN system thereof is disclosed in which a wireless environment is comprehensively discriminated to select an optimum channel by information. The information is obtained from stations of each node (STA) in a wireless network and is not local information near the Access Point. Channel selection is configured to be automatically implemented during an initial configuration of the WLAN and during operation. The method includes the AP requesting remote scanning for each node (STA) comprising the WLAN. Each node transmits a remote scanning result to the AP. An optimum channel is discriminated and a determination is made as to whether transfer has been made to the channel based on the information received from each node. The AP, transferring to the optimum channel, thus discriminated to form a new WLAN if channel transfer is implemented according to the discrimination.
