Abstract:
The performance and ease of management of wireless communications environments is improved by a mechanism that enables access points (APs) to perform automatic channel selection. A wireless network can therefore include multiple APs, each of which will automatically choose a channel such that channel usage is optimized. Furthermore, APs can perform automatic power adjustment so that multiple APs can operate on the same channel while minimizing interference with each other. Wireless stations are load balanced across APs so that user bandwidth is optimized. A movement detection scheme provides seamless roaming of stations between APs.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for use by a station associated with a first access point on a first channel in a wireless communications environment, the method comprising:\n determining if the first access point is in a buffering mode to buffer at least one data packet to be transmitted to the station; and in response to the determination, during the buffering mode, canvassing a second channel in the wireless communications environment for association with a second access point.
