  • Reducing handoff latency in a wireless local area network through an activation alert that affects a power state of a receiving mesh access point
    Patent number: 8509191
    Abstract: If a handoff by a mobile station currently associated with a particular access point is probable, then the particular access point sends an activation alert to one or more other access points. An access point receiving the activation alert that is in a low-power state enters a higher-power state. An access point receiving the activation alert that is in a higher-power state, remains in that higher-power state.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 26, 2012
    Date of Patent: August 13, 2013
    Assignee: McMaster University
    Inventors: Shervan Fashandi, Terence Douglas Todd
