METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CREATING TWO INDEPENDENT WIRELESS NETWORKS WITH AN ACCESS POINT
First Claim
1. A method for creating two independent wireless networks with an access point, a first wireless network operating at a frequency channel A and a second wireless network operating at a frequency channel B, comprising:
- at least one access point (AP) with a single half duplex radio transceiver changing the frequency channel between said frequency channel A and said frequency channel B in alternate periods of time;
a plurality of associated stations operating in said frequency channel A; and
a plurality of associated stations operating in said frequency channel B,characterized in that, in order to create said two independent wireless networks from said at least one AP, it comprises updating a plurality of beacon parameters from a beacon frame at each change of channel frequency of said single half duplex radio transceiver.

Abstract
The method comprising at least one Access Point (AP) with a single half duplex radio transceiver allowing the transmission from said AP to a plurality of associated stations connected to any of said two wireless networks, said two wireless networks operating at different frequency channels. Embodiments of the method in order to create said two wireless networks comprises said at least one AP updating a plurality of beacon parameters from a beacon frame at each change of channel frequency of said half duplex radio transceiver.
The system of the invention is adapted to implement the method of the invention.
