More Information
Summary:Technology is disclosed for segregating communications between a base station access point and a user device across the bands in accordance with various quality of service requirements. Universal broadcasts to client devices, low throughput communications (e.g., uplink communications), and initial user device detection may be accomplished using omnidirectional Television White Space (TVWS) broadcasts. Bandwidth intensive communications (e.g., downlink communications) may be handled with directional, beam-steered, WIFI channels. The base station may coordinate steering based upon user device information, such as location information. The technology includes improvements for beam forming, packet handling at the base station, and device association with the directional communications.
