BROADCAST OPERATIONS BY A SELECTED SUBSET OF ACCESS POINTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18482168 titled 'BROADCAST OPERATIONS BY A SELECTED SUBSET OF ACCESS POINTS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method for selecting a subset of Access Points (APs) to perform broadcast operations, moving client devices between different sets of APs during a broadcast period, and then returning them to their original APs after the broadcast period.
- A first group of APs is chosen to handle broadcast operations.
- Client devices are transferred from a second group of APs to the first group during the broadcast period.
- After the broadcast period, client devices are moved back to the second group of APs.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in scenarios where a subset of APs need to handle broadcast operations efficiently, such as in large-scale events, public announcements, or emergency alerts.
Problems Solved
1. Efficient management of broadcast operations within a network. 2. Seamless transition of client devices between different APs during broadcast periods.
Benefits
1. Improved network performance during broadcast operations. 2. Enhanced user experience with uninterrupted connectivity. 3. Optimal utilization of AP resources.
Potential Commercial Applications
"Optimizing Broadcast Operations with Selected APs" - This title is SEO optimized for commercial applications of the technology.
Possible Prior Art
There may be prior art related to optimizing network performance during broadcast operations, but specific examples are not provided in the abstract.
Unanswered Questions
How does the technology handle potential interference between APs during the broadcast period?
The patent application does not address how interference issues between APs are managed during the broadcast period.
What criteria are used to select the subset of APs for broadcast operations?
The abstract does not specify the criteria or algorithm used to choose the first group of APs for broadcast operations.
Original Abstract Submitted
Broadcast operations by a selected subset of Access Points (APs) may be provided. A first plurality of APs to perform broadcast may be selected from a plurality of APs. Next, a plurality of client devices may be moved from a second plurality of APs to the first plurality of APs during a broadcast period. Then, the plurality of client devices may be moved to the second plurality of APs from the first plurality of APs after the broadcast period.
