MESH AP LEADING HANDOVER METHOD BASED ON CHANNEL LOAD AND HOP COUNT

摘要

PURPOSE: A mesh AP leading handover method based on a channel load and a hop count is provided to reduce channel interferences of mobile nodes in a mesh network. CONSTITUTION: A mesh AP(20a) registers a callback function for receiving a link measurement report packet of a mobile node(10) and a callback function for receiving channel load request/report packets. The mesh AP periodically broadcasts the link measurement request packet and the channel load request packet. An SNR(Signal-to-Noise Ratio) value of a corresponding mobile node is updated.
