Patent

CA 2546982

A wireless network access point is described which provides the resources of a backbone network to wireless clients. The access point is able to detect a degraded condition on the backbone network. Upon detecting the degraded condition, the access point transmits or broadcasts a reassociation request to one or more clients associated with the access point. In addition, the rate at which new associations are made is halted or reduced during the degraded backbone condition. In one embodiment, the association rate is reduced by increasing the interval between beacons transmitted by the access point which identify the access to the backbone network.

L'invention concerne un point d'accès à un réseau sans fil fournissant les ressources d'un réseau de base à des clients sans fil. Le point d'accès peut détecter un état dégradé sur le réseau de base. Au moment de la détection de l'état dégradé, le point d'accès émet ou diffuse une demande de réassociation à un ou plusieurs clients associés au point d'accès. De plus, la vitesse à laquelle les nouvelles associations sont établies est arrêtée ou réduite au cours de l'état de base dégradé. Dans un mode de réalisation, la vitesse d'association est réduite par augmentation de l'intervalle entre des balises émises par le point d'accès identifiant l'accès au réseau de base.
