Abstract
A method can include a virtual/augmented reality (V/AR) access device receiving a list of virtual wireless devices within a predetermined virtual range. An upstream data frame from a real world wireless device can be encapsulated by the V/AR access device into an upstream packet and transmitted to a virtual wireless device. Downstream packets from the virtual wireless device can be decapsulated by the V/AR access device to access a downstream data frame. The downstream data frame can be transmitted to the real world wireless device by the V/AR access device. Corresponding devices and systems are also disclosed.

A method, comprising:
- by operation of a virtual/augmented reality (V/AR) access device,
- receiving a list of virtual wireless devices within a predetermined virtual range of the V/AR access device, the virtual range based on a V/AR environment,
- authenticating at least one virtual wireless device via packet transmissions,
- authenticating a real world wireless device,
- in response to an upstream data frame from the real world wireless device, encapsulating the upstream data frame, including its data link layer information, within an upstream packet and transmitting the upstream packet to the virtual wireless device, and
- in response to a downstream packet received from the virtual wireless device, decapsulating the downstream packet to access a downstream data frame, including its data link layer information, and transmitting the downstream data frame to the real world wireless device.
A device, comprising:
- storage circuits configured to store a list of virtual wireless devices of a virtual/augmented reality (V/AR) environment, the list including an indicated wireless communication standard for each virtual wireless device;
- controller circuits configured to
- authenticate and connect with the virtual wireless devices of the list,
- authenticate and connect with at least one real world wireless device,
