The present invention relates to a method of dynamic channel switching in a wireless mesh network that is in conformance with an IEEE 802.11s standard. The method comprises the steps of transmitting a request frame to a node for scanning a channel associated with the node; determining a link quality of the channel; receiving a response frame from the node; and switching to the channel if the switching metric is larger than a switching threshold, wherein if otherwise, remain unswitched. The switching metric integrates the interference, transmission frame size, latency of channel switching and data rate of the node on the channel.

Dynamic channel switching for wireless mesh networks

A system within a single access point comprises a network management module, a virtual access point creation module and a data traffic handling module. The virtual access point creation module creates multiple virtual access points each represented by a unique service set identifier (SSID). The network management module provides at least one tunnel to accommodate the multiple virtual access points. The data traffic handling module receives and redirects data from the multiple virtual access points to and from the at least one tunnel.
