Abstract: A method for generating a forbidden channel list for a combined wireless communication station comprises the steps of: obtaining a channel usage report from an access point; performing a channel scan procedure; generating at least one of a channel load report, a noise indicator report, a signal strength indicator report and a packet error rate report according to the results of the channel scan procedure; and generating a forbidden channel list at least according to the generated one of the channel usage report, the channel load report, the noise indicator report, the signal strength to report, and the packet error rate report.

Abstract: A system with WLAN link aggregation comprises an access point, a station and a remote host. The station is equipped with a first network interface unit and a second network interface unit. The first network interface unit and the second network interface unit are configured to forward packets to or receive packets from the access point. After receiving packets from the first network interface unit, the second network interface unit or the remote host, the access point modifies headers of the packets and forwards the packets to the first network interface unit, the second network interface unit or the remote host.

Abstract: In accordance with the invention, a method for roaming seamlessly comprises the steps of: associating with a first access point; selecting a second access point if a first received signal strength indication (RSSI) value is less than a first threshold value; performing an authentication procedure and a handshaking procedure with the second access point; and associating with the second access point if a second RSSI value is less than a second threshold value.

Abstract: An apparatus utilizes different channels for forwarding notification packets to at least one station and an access point. The station and the access point start or stop forwarding packets to the apparatus according to the notification packets. The station and the access point also temporarily store the packets to be forwarded to the apparatus and forward the packets to the apparatus after receiving a start notification packet from the apparatus.
