ABSTRACT:
A Dynamically Reconfigurable Dynamic Wireless Network for connecting a local area network (“LAN”) to wireless Mobile Stations. Backbone Access Points (“Backbone APs”) are physically connected to the LAN. Levels of Wireless Access Points (“Wireless APs”) are daisy-chained together and connected to the Backbone AP, providing an extended area of network coverage. Mobile stations are connected to either Backbone APs or Wireless APs. Dynamic Reconfiguration prevents single point failures. Each AP contains a router, Address Resolution Protocol (“ARP”) cache, and Distributed Routing Table (“DR Table”). The DR Table maintains the Media Access Control (“MAC”) address and the Internet Protocol (“IP”) address of each AP below it in the Distributed Routing Tree. Additionally, each DR Table also maintains the IP address for the device each AP is connected. The Distributed Routing Tree is dynamically reconfigured to minimize transmission hops or to maximize signal strength between Mobile Stations and the LAN.
