Abstract
Provided are a method and apparatus for supporting a multiband wireless fidelity (WiFi). The method for supporting the multiband WIFI includes: assigning a category and a frequency band for traffic, based on one or more characteristics of the traffic; packetizing the traffic in a media access control (MAC) unit corresponding to the assigned frequency band; and transmitting the packetized traffic by using the assigned frequency band in a physical layer (PHY) unit corresponding to the assigned frequency band.
Claims21
A method of supporting multiband wireless fidelity (WiFi), the method comprising:
- assigning a category, from among a plurality of assignable categories, and a frequency band, from among a plurality of assignable frequency bands, for traffic, based on one or more characteristics of the traffic;
- packetizing the traffic in a media access control (MAC) unit corresponding to the assigned frequency band;
- and
- transmitting the packetized traffic by using the assigned frequency band in a physical layer (PHY) unit corresponding to the assigned frequency band.
A multiband wireless fidelity (WiFi) device comprising:
- a traffic sorting unit which assigns a category, from among a plurality of assignable categories, and a frequency band, from among a plurality of assignable frequency bands, for traffic based on one or more characteristics of the traffic;
- a MAC unit, corresponding to the assigned frequency band, which packetizes the traffic;
- and
- a PHY unit, corresponding to the assigned frequency band, which transmits the packetized traffic by using the assigned frequency band.
