20120275443 | EFFICIENT CREATION OF WLAN CONNECTIONS - A method for communication includes receiving at a wireless access point (AP) a directed probe request from a client specifying a service set identifier (SSID) for which the AP was not configured prior to receiving the directed probe request. In reply to the directed probe request, the AP transmits a probe response to the client using the specified SSID. | 11-01-2012 |
20120115523 | MIMO SEARCH OVER MULTIPLE ACCESS POINTS - A method for communication includes arranging multiple access points in a wireless local area network (WLAN) to communicate over the air with a station in a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) configuration. Transmission quality is measured, in alternation, between two or more of the access points and the station in a plurality of different MIMO states. Each MIMO state is characterized at least by a respective number of spatial streams to be transmitted in the state. Responsively to the measured transmission quality, one of the access points and one of the MIMO states are selected to transmit data to the station. | 05-10-2012 |
20100165968 | Wireless LAN Control over a Wired Network - Apparatus for mobile communication includes a switch and a plurality of access points, which are arranged in a wireless local area network (WLAN) to communicate over the air on a common frequency channel with a mobile station using a common basic service set identification (BSSID) for all the access points. The access points are coupled by a LAN to the switch so that upon receiving at one or more of the access points an uplink signal transmitted over the WLAN by the mobile station on the common frequency channel, the one or more of the access points convey messages responsively to the uplink signal over the LAN to the switch. A manager node is coupled to the switch so as to receive the messages and is adapted to process the messages so as to select one of the access points to respond to the uplink signal. | 07-01-2010 |
