Enhanced Roaming - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18420697 titled 'Enhanced Roaming
The patent application describes methods, systems, and apparatuses for managing roaming by access points (AP), a controller, and a wireless device. The wireless device can indicate intent to roam from a source AP to a target AP, and the system can adjust the delivery of uplink and/or downlink data in association with the roam.
- The innovation allows a wireless device to signal its intention to switch from one access point to another.
- The system enables the adjustment of data delivery to ensure a seamless transition during roaming.
- This technology optimizes the handover process between access points for improved connectivity.
- It enhances the overall performance and efficiency of wireless networks by managing roaming effectively.
- The system provides a more reliable and stable connection for users moving between different access points.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be applied in public Wi-Fi networks to enhance user experience during roaming. - It can be utilized in large-scale enterprise networks to improve network management and connectivity. - Telecommunication companies can implement this system to optimize roaming capabilities for mobile devices.
Problems Solved: - Seamless handover between access points during roaming. - Efficient management of data delivery to ensure uninterrupted connectivity. - Enhanced user experience by minimizing disruptions during network transitions.
Benefits: - Improved reliability and stability of wireless connections. - Enhanced network performance and efficiency. - Seamless roaming experience for users moving between access points.
Commercial Applications: "Optimizing Roaming Management System for Enhanced Wireless Connectivity in Public Wi-Fi Networks"
Questions about Roaming Management System: 1. How does the system ensure a smooth transition for a wireless device moving between access points? 2. What are the key benefits of implementing this technology in large-scale enterprise networks?
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, systems and apparatuses for managing roaming by access points (AP), a controller, and a wireless device are described. The wireless device can indicate intent to roam from a source AP to a target AP. The wireless device, APs, and controller can adjust delivery of uplink and/or downlink data in association with the roam.
