The present invention is a wireless high speed virtual LAN, particularly adapted for residential and small business use. Wireless access results in low cost and flexibility. Users are able, if necessary, to access a wired enterprise network and be connected to closed user groups at high speed. The VLAN concept enables increased flexibility in terms of system configuration, increased performance and increased security for both users and network operators. Users can logically change their group membership thereby gaining access to different network services without changing their physical location. Terminal mobility is enabled by provision of a seamless handoff scheme. System efficiency is enhanced by use of a path migration scheme which preserves data continuity and is transparent to users. |
