Abstract
A method and system for a communication device having a network interface card (NIC) for communicating with two networks to dynamically allocate bandwidth between or among the networks.
Claims15
A method comprising:
- receiving at a first access point of a device a first traffic request frame;
- sending from a second access point of said device a second traffic request frame;
- receiving at said second access point a traffic response frame;
- determining a first medium time and a second medium time, the first medium time being based on a first surplus bandwidth allowance, a first packet per second (PPS), and a first medium access control protocol data unit (MPDU) exchange (MPDUExchange) time, which are derived from said first traffic request frame, and the second medium time being based on a second surplus bandwidth allowance, a second PPS, and a second MPDUExchange time, which are derived from said traffic response frame;
- deriving a bandwidth allocation parameter from said first medium time and said second medium time;
- and
- switching said device between said first access point and said second access point according to said bandwidth allocation parameter.

A system comprising:
- an access device to be operably connected to a computing device, said access device comprising:
- a first network communication device to access a first network;
- and
- a second network communication device to access a second network,
- the first network communication device to receive a first frame from the first network, and the second network communication device to receive a second frame from the second network, wherein said access device is to switch said computing device between said first network and said second network according to a bandwidth allocation parameter, said access device to derive said bandwidth allocation parameter from a first medium time and a second medium time, said first medium time being based on a first surplus bandwidth allowance, a first packet per second (PPS), and a first medium access control protocol data unit (MPDU) exchange (MPDUExchange) time, which are derived from said first frame from said first network, and said second medium time being based on a second surplus bandwidth allowance, a second PPS, and a second MPDUExchange time, which are derived from said second frame from said second network.
