    摘要: A system and method for graphically representing associations between wireless network devices in a way that visually indicates the maximum amount of throughput between the associated devices, as well as a channel that is currently selected for communications between the associated devices. The thickness of a line between the associated devices may indicate the maximum throughput between the devices, whereas the color of the line may indicate the channel on which the associated devices are currently communicating. Other visual characteristics of lines generated between associated devices may be used to visually represent maximum possible throughput and current channel selection. Associations between the devices in the wireless network may be determined by checking a list of associated stations maintained in each access point.

    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.

    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.
