WIRELESS LAN CONNECTION HANDOVER BY DOCKING SYSTEM AND GENERIC NETWORK DEVICE DRIVER

摘要

A wireless docking system comprising a dockee device (110, 210) and a docking station (220), the dockee device (110, 210) docking with the docking station (220), which docking station comprises: first means for establishing a first network connection (215) for connecting to the dockee device (110, 210) and second means for establishing a second network connection (225) for connecting to a wireless network access point (130, 230). The docking station (220) is configured to, in a first step, to establish a secure wireless connection between the docking station and the dockee for receiving from the dockee device (110, 210) information for accessing the wireless network access point (130, 230), and, in a second step to establish a secure wireless connection between the docking station_and the wireless network access point by connecting to the access point (130, 230) using the information received from the dockee device (110, 210) for the connection the docking station further configured to enable tunneling traffic between the dockee device (110, 210) and the wireless network access point (130, 230).
