98 results about "Wireless distribution system" patented technology

A wireless distribution system (WDS) is a system enabling the wireless bridging of access points in an IEEE 802 network. It allows an extended network to be created using wireless IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi) access points without the traditional requirement for wires to link them. The notable advantage of WDS over other solutions is that it preserves the MAC addresses of client frames across links between access points, thus mixtures of ethernet and WDS connections can be treated as a single network.

Method of secure communications in a wireless distribution system

A system and method for maintaining timing compatibility for high rate wireless transceivers employs a cycle stealing technique so that latencies introduced by multi-antenna signal processors in an access point can be masked. A speculative pre-stored, predetermined preamble is issued in response to a data transmission initiation from another access point, so that a responsive packet is sent within an acceptable protocol timing interval.

Wireless communication device, wireless communication system, and wireless communication method

An access point establishing a wireless LAN is constructed to have a monitor system ‘b’ for monitoring an available channel for communication, in addition to a communication system ‘a’. In the event of detection of radar / radio signals, the access point changes a communication channel used for wireless communication from a current active channel to the monitored channel. Each terminal belonging to the wireless LAN recognizes and follows this channel change by detection of a beacon broadcasted by the access point. In the case of non-detection of radar / radio signals for one minute at the monitored channel, the wireless communication is reestablished immediately at the monitored channel recognized as a CAC (channel availability check)-finished channel. This series of processing is also applicable to inter-access point communication, for example, communication in a WDS (wireless distribution system) mode. This arrangement desirably prevents the potential interruption of wireless communication in a 5 GHz frequency band for a significant period, in the event of detection of radar / radio signals, for example, a weather radar.
