Embodiment Construction

[0010] The invention can be further understood by reference to the following description and drawings, in which like elements are provided with like reference numerals. The present invention provides systems and methods for controlling bandwidth at wireless endpoints. In an exemplary embodiment, a switch electrically connected to a wireless local area network ("WLAN") may bundle communication links to provide increased bandwidth capability for communicating with endpoints. Although the invention will be discussed with reference to creating a bundle at a switch, those skilled in the art will understand that bundles can be created elsewhere in the WLAN. For example, an endpoint with multiple radios can create bundles to increase throughput.

[0011] Additionally, embodiments of the present invention may be described with reference to transferring data packets to and from a storage area network ("SAN"). However, these embodiments may be used in any number of applications includ...

Abstract

Described is a system and method for controlling bandwidth at a wireless endpoint. The method comprises receiving a bandwidth request from a device and placing the device in a bundle which includes a plurality of radios to communicate with the device. A packet addressed to the device is received and transmitted to the device via the plurality of radios.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to systems and methods for bandwidth control at wireless endpoints. Background technique [0002] Today, the maximum bandwidth available to a wireless endpoint (eg, (Mobile Unit "MU")) according to the IEEE 802.11 standard is 54 Mbps. That is, an 802.11a / g radio utilized by an access point ("AP") in communication with a MU may only successfully transmit and receive data packets up to this limit. However, some applications and MUs may require greater bandwidth in order to perform properly despite the bandwidth limitations of the AP. For example, a storage area network ("SAN") may require bandwidth in the range of 1 Gbps and 2 Gbps. Likewise, streaming video and HDTV can have high bandwidth demands. Thus, streaming video clips may not perform properly (eg, frequently stop and start throughout) due to bandwidth constraints that prevent the SAN from communicating wirelessly. Accordingly, a method that can increas...
