Problems solved by technology

[0003] A drawback of performing channel switching according to the IEEE802.11 standard is that in some cases it is necessary to wait for at least one or more TBTTs to be known before channel switching is allowed, which may have a considerable waiting time, i.e. delay
Taking into account the above waiting time, it is not possible to suspend communication for a specific time

Embodiment Construction

[0019] In the following description, for purposes of explanation and not limitation, specific details are set forth such as particular structures, interfaces, techniques, etc., in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. For the purposes of conciseness and clarity, detailed descriptions of well-known devices, circuits, and methods are omitted so as not to obscure the description of the present invention with unnecessary detail.

[0020] The present invention relates to a fast channel switching scheme for reducing channel switching latency to prevent interference with the operation of other co-located systems, such as mission-critical radar systems in the 5GHz frequency band. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention can be easily extended to other frequency bands, such as 2.4 GHz, using different physical layer specifications, such as the IEEE 802.11b physical specification.

Abstract

Disclosed is a method and system for switching at least one wireless node located within the coverage area of a basic-service set (BSS) or infrastructure-basic-service set (IBSS) in a wireless-local-area network (WLAN) from a first communication channel to a second communication channel. The method includes: determining whether the second communication channel to be used by at least one wireless node is needed; broadcasting by a source node a management frame to at least one of the wireless node when it is determined that the second communication channel is needed, the management frame including a channel-switch time and a second communication channel identifier; and switching, at least one wireless node receiving the management frame, from the first communication channel to a second communication channel within a countdown time corresponding to the channel switch time, wherein the channel-switch time is less than a beacon interval.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to fast channel switching mechanisms in 802.11(h) wireless local area networks (WLANs), wherein channel switching is performed independently of the beacon interval period. Background technique [0002] The IEEE 802.11(h) standard specifies the characteristics of the medium access control (MAC) layer and the physical (PHY) layer of the wireless local area network, which is defined in the international standard ISO / IEC 8802-111 "Information Technology-Telecommunications and information exchange between systems-Local and metropolitana area networks-Specific Requirements, Part 11: Wireless LAN Medium Access Control (MAC) and Physical (PHY) specifications (Information Technology - Telecommunications and Intersystem Information Exchange - Local and Metropolitan Area Networks - Specific Requirements, Part II: Wireless LAN Medium Access Control (MAC) and Physical (PHY) Specification" 1999 version. This standard provides a mechanis...
