Abstract
In a system and method for facilitating wireless communication between agents in a wireless network, each agent is equipped with an agent's device using a main wireless infrastructure and a separate auxiliary wireless infrastructure. Initial contact between any first agent's device and any other agent's device is made within the auxiliary wireless infrastructure, whereas, once this initial contact has been established, all ensuing communications between the first agent's device and the other agent's device take place within the main wireless infrastructure.
Claims16
A method for facilitating wireless communication between agents in a wireless network, wherein each agent is equipped with an agent's device using a main wireless infrastructure and a separate auxiliary wireless infrastructure which is distinct from the main wireless infrastructure, and wherein initial contact between any first agent's device and any other agent's device is made within the auxiliary wireless infrastructure said initial contact made on the auxiliary wireless infrastructure comprising negotiating configuration settings for communicating within the main wireless infrastructure, whereas, once this initial contact has been established, all ensuing communications between said first agent's device and said any other agent's device take place within the main wireless infrastructure.
A wireless communication system comprising a main wireless infrastructure and a separate auxiliary wireless infrastructure using a plurality of agent's devices each being equipped with detection means for establishing contact with at least another agent's device within said separate auxiliary wireless infrastructure and communication means for communicating with other agent's devices within said main wireless infrastructure, wherein said detection means are adapted to provide initial contact between any first agent's device and any other agent's device within the auxiliary wireless infrastructure to establish configuration settings for the main wireless infrastructure, whereas said communication means are adapted to ensure all ensuing communications between said first agent's device and said other agent's device within the main wireless infrastructure once the initial contact has been established by said detection means.
