Abstract

The present invention discloses a method for providing a client-requested location dependent information for a designated location through a wireless communication system. The method includes a step of detecting a presence of a wireless network client at the designate location by the wireless communication system wherein the wireless communication system includes a data record of client profile to enable a determination if there is such a client-requested location dependent information for the designated location from the user whereby the client-requested location dependent information may be provided to the client at the designated location through the wireless communication system.

Claims

1. A wireless communication system for interconnecting a plurality of wireless devices registered to said wireless communication system as clients for communicating through multiple layers of message transfer and switch devices organized as a plurality of subnets, said wireless communication system further comprising:

a first server for dynamically and intelligently distributing user profile data records of said clients to a second server to manage at least one of said subnets for each of said clients to apply said user profile data records to communicate through said wireless communication system whereby said wireless communication system may be expanded through sharing and distributing said user profile records.

2. The wireless communication system of claim 1 wherein:

said user profile data records comprising data records of wireless mobile device MAC addresses used as a key for searching and identifying and recognizing each of said wireless communication devices employed by each of said clients.

3. The wireless communication system of claim 1 wherein:

said user profile data records comprising data records of personal data for identifying and recognizing each of said clients registered to communicated via said wireless communication device through said wireless communication system.

4. The wireless communication system of claim 1 wherein:

said user profile data records comprising data records of user access authorization data for identifying and recognizing user access privileges and access zone areas for each of said clients.

5. The wireless communication system of claim 4 wherein:

said data records of user access authorization data further includes data for identifying and recognizing user allowable access applications for each of said clients.

6. The wireless communication system of claim 1 wherein:

said user profile data records comprising data records of mobility management for managing a mobility of said clients moving from between subnets of said wireless communication system.

7. The wireless communication system of claim 1 wherein:

said user profile data records comprising data records of Basic Service Set Identification/Identifier (BSSID), mobile device home Extended Service Set Identification/Identifier (ESSID), and optionally the home VLAND ID associates a frame with a specific VLAN and provides information for switches to process communication frames across said subnets of said wireless communication network.

8. The wireless communication system of claim 1 wherein:

said user profile data records comprising data records of mobile user quality of service (QoS) information for providing user types and rate for each of said user types.

9. The wireless communication system of claim 1 wherein:

said user profile data records comprising data records of mobile user quality of service (QoS) information for providing user types and a Premium rate, a Guarantee rate, and a Best Efforts rate for each of said user types.

10. The wireless communication system of claim 1 wherein:

said user profile data records comprising data records of mobile user quality of service (QoS) information for providing traffic shaping data for managing and controlling wireless communication access in compliance to an access policy of said clients and an available bandwidth of said wireless communication system.

11. The wireless communication system of claim 1 wherein:

said first server and second server further comprising personal computers (PC) functioning as said servers.

12. The wireless communication system of claim 1 wherein:

said multiple layers of message transfer and switch devices further includes switches organized into said plurality of subnets.

13. The wireless communication system of claim 1 wherein:

said multiple layers of message transfer and switch devices further includes switches connecting to a plurality of access points with each of said access points connected to said plurality of wireless communication devices organized into said plurality of subnets.

14. The wireless communication system of claim 1 further comprising:

a backup server to backup said first serve and ready to handle functions as said first server.

15. A wireless communication system comprising multiple data handling systems for processing network connections and data transmissions between different data handling systems;

wherein;

one of said data handling system functioning as a centralized data handling system for dynamically and intelligently distributing a user profile data record to one of said data handling systems whereby each of said data handling system is enabled to process said network connections and data transmission in real time for handling a wireless communication for a user designated by said user profile data record.

16. The wireless communication system of claim 15 wherein:

said data handling systems further comprising personal computer (PC) based servers.

17. The wireless communication system of claim 15 wherein:

each of said data handling systems further comprising a network communication interface for networking and communication with another data handling system.

18. The wireless communication system of claim 15 wherein:

said data handling systems further comprising standard network communication switches.

19. The wireless communication system of claim 15 wherein:

said data handling systems further comprising standard thin access point (AP) processors.

20. The wireless communication system of claim 15 wherein:

one said data handling systems further functioning as a backup centralized data handling system for providing a backup to said centralized data handling system.

21. The wireless communication system of claim 15 wherein:

said data handling systems further comprising standard thin access point (AP) processors and each of said thin AP processors is employed for connecting to a wireless client through a nearby thin AP processor; and

said nearby thin AP processor is enabled for dynamically receiving said user profile data record of said wireless client immediately following said wireless client logging in said wireless communication system through said nearby thin AP processor.

22. A method for providing a client-requested location dependent information for a designated location through a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

detecting a presence of a wireless network client at the designate location by the wireless communication system wherein the wireless communication system includes a data record of client profile to enable a determination if there is such a client-requested location dependent information for the designated location from the user whereby the client-requested location dependent information may be provided to the client at the designated location through the wireless communication system.
