DYNAMIC FREQUENCY SELECTION SCHEME FOR IEEE 802.11 WLANs

TLDR
In this paper, a method and system for dynamically selecting a communication channel between an access point (AP) and a plurality of stations (STAs) in an IEEE 802.11 wireless local area network (WLAN) is presented.
Abstract
Disclosed is a method and system for dynamically selecting a communication channel between an access point (AP) and a plurality of stations (STAs) in an IEEE 802.11 wireless local area network (WLAN). The method includes the steps of: determining whether a new channel to be used by the plurality of STAs is needed; measuring the channel quality of a plurality of frequency channels by at least one of the plurality of STAs; reporting the quality of the plurality of frequency channels in terms of a received signal strength indication (RSSI), Clear Channel Assessment (CCA) busy periods and periodicity; and, selecting one of the candidate channels based on the channel quality report for use in communication between the AP and the plurality of STAs.
