Wireless networking with dynamic load sharing and balancing

摘要

A dynamic load sharing and balancing system for a wireless network (100) coupled to a wired network (20) includes a network router (40) for coupling a plurality of wired network paths (20) and for providing status information for the plurality of wired network paths and a plurality of broadband radios (26 and 46) forming a plurality of radio frequency paths and for providing status information for each of the plurality of radio frequency paths. The system further comprises a network arbitration module (32) for receiving the status information from the plurality of wired network paths and for receiving the status information from at least one of the plurality of radio frequency paths and for directing traffic among the plurality of radio frequency paths based on the status information from the wired network paths and the plurality of radio frequency paths.
