Dynamic Channel Bandwidth Selection Based on Information for Packets transmitted at Different Channel Bandwidths

Abstract

The present disclosure discloses a method and network device for dynamic channel bandwidth selection in a wireless local area network. Specifically, a network device obtains information corresponding to a first set of packets transmitted on one or more of a plurality of channel bandwidths over a first period of time. Based on the information, the network device selects a particular channel bandwidth, of the plurality of channel bandwidths, for transmitting a second set of packets; and transmits the second set of packets at the particular channel bandwidth. Additionally, based on the information, the network device can dynamically select a number of packets, from a second set of packets, to queue at hardware components with channel bandwidth selection for transmission by the hardware components; and can queue the selected number of packets at the hardware components with channel bandwidth selection.
