Patent ID: 7865193

Claim:
A load balancing method applied in a communication apparatus comprising a first wireless transceiver and a second wireless transceiver the method comprising: assigning an identification code to the first wireless transceiver, and assigning the same identification code assigned to the first wireless transceiver to the second wireless transceiver; establishing a first link between the first wireless transceiver and a station through a first channel according to the identification code; and controlling the first wireless transceiver to transmit a message to the station for commanding the station to switch from the first channel to another channel when a load of the first wireless transceiver is greater than a load of the second wireless transceiver; establishing a second link between the second wireless transceiver and the station through a second channel according to the message and the identification code to replace the first link; wherein the first and the second channels are substantially independent; wherein the first link is established by generating a configuration for ensuring data safety according to the identification code, and the configuration is directly utilized to establish the second link; and wherein the station sends at least a probe request located in a first frequency band to the first wireless transceiver, a frequency band of the first channel is determined according to a number of probe requests, and when the number is greater than a threshold, the frequency band of the first channel is determined as the first frequency band.
