Abstract:
A method performed by an AP to transfer remote stations operating on a WLAN from one channel frequency to another channel frequency includes registering all remote stations using the access point on a first channel frequency ( 405 ), detecting channel congestion and deciding to switch channel frequency ( 410 ). The AP selects a second channel frequency ( 415 ), sends one or more channel change messages to all remote stations to change to the second channel frequency ( 420 ) and checks whether all registered remote stations reconnect after switching ( 425 ). If any registered remote stations are missing then the AP selects another channel frequency ( 415, 420 ). The AP continues such testing and until all registered STAs have reconnected or all channels have been selected. If all channels have been selected and any STA is still missing, then the AP indicates reconnection failure ( 440 ).

Claim (Index 10):
An access point apparatus operating on a wireless local area network, the access point apparatus comprising:\n a wireless local area network interface for communicating with a plurality of remote stations; a processor configured to control switching of an operational frequency of the wireless local area network, the processor registering the plurality of remote stations for use on a first channel frequency, selecting a second channel frequency from channel frequencies available to all of the plurality of registered remote stations; transmitting one or more channel switching messages to the plurality of registered remote stations, the messages instructing the plurality of remote stations to switch to the second channel frequency, the processor determining that all of the plurality of remote stations have not switched to the second channel frequency, selecting a third channel frequency from the channel frequencies available to all of the plurality of remote stations, transmitting messages instructing the plurality of remote stations to switch to the third channel frequency, determining if all of the plurality of remote stations have switched to the third channel frequency, and operating the remote stations on the third channel frequency if all of the plurality of remote stations have switched to the third channel frequency; and a status indicator for indicating if all of the remote stations have not switched to the third channel frequency.
