ABSTRACT:
A wireless network apparatus and corresponding method and computer program comprises channel queues each to store packets of data to be transmitted on a respective wireless channel in one of a plurality of frequency bands; a memory to store a channel access time value and a return to channel value for each of the wireless channels; and a controller to select one of the wireless channels according to a channel polling scheme, and on that channel, cause a start beacon packet to be sent, exchange packets of data for an interval specified by the channel access time value, cause a stop beacon packet to be sent at the end of the interval specified by the channel access time value, and cause a further start beacon packet to be sent at the end of an interval specified by the return to channel value.
