Abstract:
Implementations of the present disclosure relate to parallel channel switching for mesh network. In the implementations, a first access point (AP) receives a first beacon including an indication of a first channel switch count (CSC) for a first link between the first AP and the second AP from a second AP. The first AP obtains a second CSC for a second link between the first AP and a station. Then, the first AP transmits a second beacon including an indication of the second CSC to the station and within a beacon interval of the second AP upon receipt of the first beacon. In this way, the idle time period for the channel switching procedure of the mesh network can be reduced and minimized, thereby improving the Wi-Fi mesh link stability and reducing the latency.
