AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

Reduces the number of access points needed, enhances network reliability, improves mobility support for real-time applications, and allows for efficient deployment and reconfiguration of the network, reducing costs and complexity.

Problems solved by technology

There are a number of problems associated with the current implementations of 802.11 networks.
Also, the cost of each of the access points is approximately $500.00.
Generally, such a high cost is a deterrent to having a large number of access points.
However, by reducing the number of access points, coverage diminishes and the 802.11 network is less effective.
Furthermore, there are a number of mobility problems associated with the current 802.11 network deployments.
However, these schemes do not work effectively for real time applications, such as a voice related application, as there is no standard solution in place and users haven't indicated a desire for long-term proprietary solutions.

Embodiment Construction

[0049]A communication system is described. In one embodiment, the communication system comprises a mobile station having a transmitter to transmit packets wirelessly according to a protocol and multiple repeaters communicably coupled with the mobile station. Each of the repeaters receives one or more packets of the wirelessly transmitted packets from the mobile station. In one embodiment, the repeater assigned to the mobile station (e.g., the repeater with the token of the mobile station) sends the body of each of the one or more packets along with a received signal strength for each of the one or more packets to a switch communicatively coupled to the repeaters. Each of the other repeaters determines which of the wirelessly transmitted packets they received without errors and a received signal strength for those packets. Each of these other repeaters forwards to the switch the received signal strength indication. Based on the received signal strength indication received from each o...

Abstract

A method and apparatus for communicating between devices is described. In one embodiment, the method comprises: detecting, at a switch, a notification signal from the previously undetected repeater, configuring the previously undetected repeater to operate with the switch; and receiving, at the switch, a periodic communication signal from the previously undetected repeater that establishes a communication connection between the previously undetected repeater and the switch to form a new wireless coverage cell.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]The present patent application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10 / 661,163, filed on Sep. 12, 2003, which is a continuation-in-part (CIP) of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10 / 044,016, filed on Jan. 11, 2002, each of which is hereby incorporated by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention relates to the field of wireless communications; more particularly, the present invention relates to a plug-and-playable wireless communication system.[0004]2. Background Art[0005]FIG. 1 illustrates an exemplary network environment used today.[0006]Referring to FIG. 1, a corporate Local Area Network (LAN) backbone 102 interfaces to a number of desktop computers 1031-103n and may interface to Internet 101.
