摘要:
In a wireless network including a wireless LAN device having a base station function compatible with the IEEE 802.11e standard and a wireless LAN device having a terminal function compatible with the standard, a band-guaranteed data reception check timer 104′ starts measuring a preset time when the terminal receives band-guaranteed data from the base station after a band acquisition response signal is transmitted from the base station to the terminal and a band-guaranteed data transfer is established between the base station and the terminal. If band-guaranteed data is not received from the base station before the measurement of the preset time is completed, the terminal determines that the wireless network connection has been disconnected to request the base station for re-connection of the wireless network after passage of the preset time. Therefore, even if the power supply to the base station is cut off to disconnect the wireless network connection between the wireless LAN devices, it is possible to immediately detect the disconnection of the wireless network connection and to re-connect the wireless network.
摘要:
In measurement of wireless channels in an IEEE 802.11 wireless local area network (WLAN), in the case of multi-channel measurement as in North America in which eight wireless channels Ch1 through Ch8 are available, channel measurement according to a predetermined algorithm is made in which odd-numbered channels Ch1, Ch3, Ch5 and Ch7 are first measured, and if radio interference occurs in channel Ch5, channels Ch4 and Ch6 adjacent to channel Ch5 are measured. This shortens the measurement time that conventionally corresponds to measurement of the eight channels to the time of six channels, i.e., the sum of the measurement time for the odd-numbered channels and that for the channels adjacent to the interference-occurring channel.

In a wireless network structure which includes a wireless LAN device having a base station function (host device) which is compliant with IEEE802.11h and at least one wireless LAN device having a terminal function (slave device) which is not compliant with IEEE802.11h, the incompliant terminal transmits a probe request to the base station for confirming the presence of the base station. When the base station has dynamically switched its channel (frequency), a probe response is not returned from the base station to the terminal. Thus, the incompliant terminal transmits a probe request through a different channel in order to confirm the presence of the base station. The incompliant terminal repeats the above channel search process till the base station is found.

摘要:
A method for determining a measurement time period for measuring a propagation environment in a wireless station set having a plurality of wireless stations, between which wireless communication is made using a channel selected from a plurality of channels different in frequency. The method includes the steps of: obtaining a measurement time period in another wireless station set having a plurality of wireless stations; and determining the measurement time period in the own wireless station set so as to have a time period that does not overlap the obtained measurement time period.
摘要:
When the communication channel is to be changed, a more optimal communication channel is determined by summing up the results of measuring communication states transmitted from individual wireless terminals A, B, and C and making a collective judgment. Weighting coefficients are set to the individual wireless terminals A, B, and C. Values indicating whether or not the respective communication states of the individual wireless terminals are optimal with channels ch1 to ch4 to be used for communication (which are, e.g., 1, 0, 1, 2 with the respective channels ch1, ch2, ch3, and ch4 for the wireless terminal A and larger as the communication states are less optimal) are multiplied by the weight coefficient (the value of 3). The resulting values are summed up on a per-channel basis and the most optimal communication channel (of which the summed value is lowest) is selected. As a result, wave interference with the other wireless terminal is reduced.
