Abstract
A network configurator can dynamically configure a device to couple network data between other devices in a wireless network. The devices can include two independent wireless transceivers that can each operate within different frequency bands, such as the 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz frequency bands. The configuration of the independent wireless transceivers can be based, at least in part, on device capabilities of the wireless transceivers, channel conditions, and a quality of service associated with the other wireless stations in the wireless network.
Claims30
A method comprising:
- determining, at a network configurator, a first device capability of a first wireless transceiver of a first device and a second device capability of a second wireless transceiver of the first device;
- determining a configuration of a second device and a configuration of a third device;
- configuring the first wireless transceiver to couple network data between the first device and the second device via a first range of frequencies, wherein the first range of frequencies is based, at least in part, on the first device capability and the configuration of the second device;
- and
- configuring the second wireless transceiver to couple network data between the first device and the third device via a second range of frequencies, wherein the second range of frequencies is based, at least in part, on the second device capability and the configuration of the third device.
A first device comprising:
- a first wireless transceiver;
- a second wireless transceiver;
- a network configurator configured to:
- determine a first device capability of the first wireless transceiver and a second device capability of the second wireless transceiver;
- determine a configuration of a second device and a configuration of a third device;
- determine a configuration of the first wireless transceiver to couple network data between the first device and the second device via a first range of frequencies, wherein the first range of frequencies is based, at least in part, on the first device capability and the configuration of the second device;
- and
- determine a configuration of the second wireless transceiver to couple network data between the first device and the third device via a second range of frequencies, wherein the second range of frequencies is based, at least in part, on the second device capability and the configuration of the third device.
A device comprising:
- a first transceiver including a first transmitter configured to transmit a first network data via a first frequency range;
- a second transceiver including a second transmitter configured to transmit a second network data via a second frequency range;
- and
- a data link configured to couple the first network data from the first transceiver to the second transceiver to transmit the first network data via the second transmitter when the first transmitter is disabled.
A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium having machine executable instructions stored therein, the machine executable instructions comprising instructions to:
- determine, at a network configurator, a first device capability of a first wireless transceiver of a first device and a second device capability of a second wireless transceiver of the first device;
- determine a configuration of a second device and a configuration of a third device;
- configure the first wireless transceiver to couple network data between the first device and the second device via a first range of frequencies, wherein the first range of frequencies is based, at least in part, on the first device capability and the configuration of the second device;
- and
- configure the second wireless transceiver to couple network data between the first device and the third device via a second range of frequencies, wherein the second range of frequencies is based, at least in part, on the second device capability and the configuration of the third device.
