    摘要: When a station is within range of at least one AP that advertises load information and at least one AP that does not advertise load information, the station selects the best AP in terms of probable data rate. The probable data rate is determined based on signal strength and mode by indexing into a predefined table or by utilizing an algorithm. The selection may be skewed in favor of APs which advertise load information.

    摘要: Operation of a mobile voice client utilizing a WLAN for access is enhanced by controlling the rate at which transmission power is changed by the access point with which the mobile voice client is associated. The access point calculates a target transmit power level based at least in-part on the distance to the nearest fixed position wireless device and the distance to the mobile voice client. The access point then determines whether the target transmit power level differs from a current transmit power level. If the target transmit power level is greater than the current transmit power level, the current transmit power level is increased at a first controlled, non-instantaneous rate such as 1 dB per second. If the target transmit power level is less than the current transmit power level, the current transmit power level is decreased at a second controlled, non-instantaneous rate such as 1 dB per second.

    摘要: The performance and ease of management of wireless communications environments is improved by a mechanism that enables access points (APs) to perform automatic channel selection. A wireless network can therefore include multiple APs, each of which will automatically choose a channel such that channel usage is optimized. Furthermore, APs can perform automatic power adjustment so that multiple APs can operate on the same channel while minimizing interference with each other. Wireless stations are load balanced across APs so that user bandwidth is optimized. A movement detection scheme provides seamless roaming of stations between APs.
