Abstract:
A system including an association module to associate a client station with an access point via a first or a second channel based on a distance of the client station from the access point. The first channel is a television white space channel. The second channel is in 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz band. A channel selection module switches a connection of the client station to the access point between the first and second channels based on the distance of the client station from the access point, a state of the connection of the client station to the access point, and a quality of service requirement of the client station. A routing module routes first and second types of data from the client station to the access point respectively via the first and second channels. A combining module combines data received by the client station via the first and second channels.
