Patent ID: 7130904

Claim:
An apparatus comprising: a transceiving circuit of an access point to transmit data to or receive data from one or more subscribers through a wireless transmission medium; a first data link control (DLC) circuit of the access point to transmit data between the transceiving circuit and one or more devices coupled to a first wired communication network; a second DLC circuit of the access point to transmit data between the transceiving circuit and one or more devices coupled to a second wired communication network; circuitry to control transmission of a first beacon signal and a second beacon signal in a successive manner in the wireless transmission medium from the transceiving circuit; and circuitry to generate a plurality of interleaved target beacon transmission times (TBTTs) based on a timing synchronization function (TSF) and to maintain constant offsets between the plurality of interleaved TBTTs based on the TSF, wherein the first and second beacon signals are different beacon signals with the first beacon signal comprising information associated with the first wired communication network and the second beacon signal comprising information associated with the second wired communication network.
