Abstract
A method of transmitting mesh backhaul data in a WiFi network comprises transmitting the mesh backhaul data between a root node and a first intervening mesh access point via a wireless communication in a first frequency band and transmitting the mesh backhaul data between the first mesh access point and a second mesh access point via a wireless communication in a second frequency band.
Claims20
A method of transmitting mesh backhaul data in a WiFi network, the method comprising:
- transmitting the mesh backhaul data between a root node and a first intervening mesh access point via a wireless communication in a first frequency band;
- and
- transmitting the mesh backhaul data between the first intervening mesh access point and a second mesh access point via a wireless communication in a second frequency band that is different than the first frequency band,
- wherein the mesh backhaul data is transmitted between the first intervening mesh access point and the second mesh access point via wireless communication in the second frequency band based on the mesh backhaul data having been transmitted between the root node and the first intervening mesh access point via wireless communication in the first frequency band.

A method of operating an access point, the method, comprising:
- enabling a first wireless local area network for mesh traffic, where the first wireless local area network supports wireless communication in a first frequency band;
- enabling a second wireless local area network for mesh traffic, where the second wireless local area network supports wireless communication in a second frequency band that is different from the first frequency band;
- receiving mesh backhaul data over the first wireless local area network;
- and
- transmitting the mesh backhaul data over the second wireless area network,
- wherein a first portion of the mesh backhaul data is transmitted over the second wireless local area network at the same time that a second portion of the mesh backhaul data is received over the first wireless local area network.
3 more elements
An access point, comprising:
- at least one antenna;
- and
- an interface circuit, coupled to the at least one antenna, the interface circuit configured to:
- enable a first wireless local area network in a first frequency band for mesh backhaul data;
- enable a second wireless local area network in a second frequency band for mesh backhaul data, the second frequency band being different than the first frequency band;
- receive mesh backhaul data on the first wireless local area network;
- and
- transmit the mesh backhaul data on the second wireless local area network, wherein the interface circuit is further configured so that the access point can receive mesh backhaul data on the first wireless local area network while simultaneously transmitting the mesh backhaul data on the second wireless local area network.
