Abstract
A method and apparatus for selecting one of a plurality of multi-band access points (APs) to associate with a multi-band wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) are disclosed. The multi-band APs broadcast frequency band information regarding multiple frequency bands on which the multi-band AP is configured to operate. The multi-band WTRU selects a particular multi-band AP to associate with and a frequency band to use to communicate with the selected multi-band AP based on the frequency band information. If the multi-band WTRU receives frequency band information from the selected multi-band AP which indicates that a characteristic, (e.g., throughput, path loss, load, capacity, backhaul), of the selected frequency band is unacceptable, the multi-band WTRU determines whether to disassociate with the selected multi-band AP or to continue to associate with the selected multi-band AP via a different frequency band.
Description
Technical field
The present invention is relevant with the wireless communication system of more than one band wireless transmission/receive units (WTRU) (in other words, a kind of mobile radio station) with a kind of a plurality of many band access points (APs) that comprise.More particularly, the present invention and a kind of the utilization from a plurality of many band access points transfer to the band informations that this is with wireless transmission/receive units more, and to select to connect the specific method and apparatus of access points of being with relevant more.
Background technology
A kind of typical WLAN (WLAN) comprises an access point (AP), and it provides the radio access for wireless transmission/receive unit (WTRU) in the overlay area of this access point.This access point then comprises a basic service cover group (BSS), its for IEEE 802.11 be based WLAN set up block substantially.A plurality of basic service cover groups can be system (DS) interconnection by a kind of dispersion also, to form a kind of extension service cover group (ESS).
This WLAN can be configured to a kind of infrastructure mode, or a kind of special pattern.In this infrastructure mode, by access point control radio communication.This access point wireless transmission/receive unit that periodically broadcast beacon frame is extremely possible is to discern, and this wireless transmission/receive unit then further communicates with this access point.In this special pattern, a plurality of wireless transmission/receive units are then operated in a kind of point-to-point communication pattern.The communication of this wireless transmission/receive unit foundation itself, and do not need to combine with a networking component.Yet an access point can be configured to act as bridger or the router that is connected to another network, similarly is to be connected to the internet.
This wireless transmission/receive unit and this access point are configurable to utilize multiband to communicate.In a kind of legacy wireless communication system, the wireless transmission/receive unit of band more than transmits a plurality of requests of detecting on the different passages of a frequency band, found whether any available access point is arranged in this zone.In case an access point receives this and detects request, it transmits a probe response packet to this wireless transmission/receive unit.This access point will transmit probe response packet on its operating walk way in a special frequency band.This probe response packet comprises the parameter of requirement, similarly is supporting rate of this wireless transmission/receive unit and this access point connection or the like.This wireless transmission/receive unit will transmit an association request, and wait for the connection response package from an access point, to carry out further data communication.
In case connect, these many band wireless transmission/receive units can be detected Request Packet by transmitting one, and wait for a probe response packet, seek a preferable communication band with the frequency band that scans other.After receiving another probe response packet, this wireless transmission/receive unit is relatively this frequency band and/or this access point at once, and selects a better frequency band and/or an access point.
In the wireless communication system of this traditional type, these many band wireless transmission/receive units must scan and more different frequency bands, and the frequency band of optimal wireless communication quality is provided with decision.Yet these scannings are consuming time with comparing function and need an a large amount of battery electric power.It needs a kind of when producing frequency band and channel selecting decision-making, reduces service time and the method and apparatus that needs battery electric power.
Summary of the invention
One of a plurality of many band access points of the present invention and a kind of selection (APs), with the method and apparatus of more than one band wireless transmission/receive units (WTRU) connections.Should be with the band information of access points broadcasting about the dispose enterprising line operate of many band access point multibands of living in out of the ordinary more.Should select specific many band access points that connect and the service band that communicates with selected many band access points according to this band information by many band wireless transmission/receive units.If should select the received band information of many band access points from this by many band wireless transmission/receive units, one characteristic of indicating this selection frequency band (for example, path loss, load, throughput, performance, rearmounted network) be unacceptable, should determine to remove connection by many band wireless transmission/receive units, or continue to connect more with these specific access points of being with by a different frequency band with this specific many band access points.
