Abstract
An access point of a wireless network including: a controller for emulating a first virtual access point of a first service provider and a second virtual access point of second service provider; a transceiver port for communicating control signals to clients of the first and service providers to limit the uplink air-time of the clients; and a connection port for linking the first and second service providers to a backhaul.
Claims20
An access point of a wireless network, comprising:
- a controller for emulating a first virtual access point of a first service provider and a second virtual access point of second service provider;
- a transceiver port for communicating control signals to clients of the first and service providers to limit the uplink air-time of the clients;
- and
- a connection port for linking the first and second service providers to a backhaul.
An access point of a wireless network, comprising:
- a controller for maintaining a first uplink air-time to the first service provider and a second uplink air-time to the second service provider;
- a transceiver port for emitting a first control signal to limit a first client of the first service provider to a first portion of first uplink air-time and a second control signal to limit a second client of the second service provider to a second portion of second uplink air-time;
- and
- a connection port for linking the first and second service providers to a backhaul.
An access point of a wireless network, comprising:
- a controller for calculating a first portion of a first uplink air-time for a first client of a first service provider and a second portion of a second uplink air-time for a second client of a second service provider;
- a transceiver port for emitting a first control signal to limit the first client of the first service provider to a first portion of first uplink air-time and a second control signal to limit the second client of the second service provider to a second portion of second uplink air-time;
- and
- a connection port for linking the first and second service providers to a backhaul.
