Abstract:
1. An asynchronous access controller apparatus for managing wireless local area networks (WLANs), the asynchronous access controller apparatus comprising: a subscriber profiler configured to aggregate both information about subscribers together with information about each associated WLAN supporting wireless communications between a wireless access point (WAP) node and associated station nodes on a selected one of a plurality of communication channels across an available spectrum; a piracy detector configured to detect whether wireless communications usage of at least one of the WLANs exceeds at least one parameter specified in a service level agreement (SLA) with the associated subscriber; and a password injector controller configured to inject a new network access password into one or more of the nodes of the at least one of the WLANs responsive to an affirmative determination by the piracy detector; whereby subsequent network access is selectively revoked on the at least one of the WLANs in a manner which returns communications usage thereon into conformance with the SLA for the associated subscriber.
