Abstract:
A plurality of wireless interfaces and/or internal radios is utilized within a network switching device to enable wireless intra-connectivity within its switch fabric. The wireless intra-connectivity services switching operations in the network switching device, to prevent and/or reduce blocking in the network switching device. The wireless intra-connectivity is also used to enable management and control operations in the network switching device. Operations of the internal radios and/or wireless interfaces are managed to mitigate and/or limit interference among the internal radios and to optimize throughput available via the wireless intra-connectivity. Arbitration, channelization, time multiplexing, and/or directionality techniques, for example, are utilized in the internal radios. External radios are operable to enable cascading plurality of network switching devices.
