Patent ID: 7616605

Claim:
A method for configuring a wireless distribution system, the method comprising: starting a building procedure and beginning to broadcast a building information by a target node, wherein the building information comprises a media access control (MAC) address of the target node; starting a scanning procedure by a joining node, to obtain and lock the target node; sending a connect request signal to the target node by the joining node; selecting an available link by the target node if the target node has at least one or more available links, assigning the selected link to the joining node and then sending a connect acknowledge signal to the joining node; sending a channel assign request to the target node by the joining node, and requesting the target node to assign a channel; selecting the channel by the target node and sending a channel reset signal to the joining node, and storing a MAC address of the joining node into an internal table of the target node; and after receiving the channel reset signal by the joining node, storing the MAC address of the target node into an internal table of the joining node, and configuring the channel; and if the target node has no available link to be assigned to the joining node, a ConnectRes(Fail) signal is sent by the target node to the joining node, and the target node and the joining node can not communicate with each other.
