Abstract:
In one example, a method for synchronizing connectivity in a wireless communication network includes participating in a communication on a management plane between at least one station and a first access point. The management plane includes a first frequency. A service period element specifies a plurality of terms of one or more service periods during which at least one station connects to a second access point over a data plane. The data plane includes a second radio frequency different from the second radio frequency. The method also includes participating in the one or more service periods on the data plane according to the terms specified by the service period element.

Abstract:
A wireless communication device, a system, and a method. The device may use memory circuitry and processing circuitry to process a packet wirelessly transmitted to the STA from a serving AP. The packet may be configured according to a first wireless communication protocol from a serving AP, such as, for example, WLAN. The wireless communication device may further process a low modulation packet configured according to a second wireless communication protocol from a candidate access point, the low modulation packet being at a modulation rate lower than a lowest modulation rate for the first wireless communication protocol. The second wireless communication protocol may be the LP-WU radio communication protocol. The device may determine a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) value of the low modulation packet, and may further process a frame including information on an address or signature, such as a Service Set Identifier (SSID) for the serving AP corresponding to the candidate access point, the frame being from the serving access point, from the candidate access point, or from another wireless communication device. The device may then associate the RSSI value with the address of the candidate access point, and trigger transition of the device from the serving access point to the candidate access point based on the RSSI value and on the address of the candidate access point.
