After selection of a communication channel(s) for the associated local network, access to the shared communication channel(s) relies on a multiple access methodology identified as Collision Sense Multiple Access (CSMA). CSMA is a distributed random access methodology for sharing a single communication medium, by having a contending communication link back off and retry access if a prospective collision on the wireless medium is detected, i.e. if the wireless medium is in use.
WAPs connect to a core or backbone network through a backhaul network or link. Some backhaul links are wired. When backhaul technology changes, hardware in the WAPs that connects to wired backhauls may have to be changed, which may increase costs and/or downtime in a network. Traditional network devices fail to effectively manage LAN communications for wireless stations with multiple connection routes.
