摘要:
A system and method is provided for converting an Access Point (AP) in a wireless network into a Probe device for performing probe operations. WLAN managers may thus temporarily direct certain APs in the WLAN to instead behave as Probes. Communication between the AP and the stations is re-directed to one or more other APs in the WLAN either before or after the AP transitions into a Probe device. When a system manager determines that enough Probe data has been collected, the Probe device may be transitioned back into an AP. With such an arrangement, a system manager can control the placement and operation of Probes in the WLAN, without the added expense or manual intervention required in providing dedicated Probe devices.

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.

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.
