Abstract
To manage a group of wireless base stations (WBS), a network administrator accesses one of the WBS, which serves as the management point. The management point WBS distributes parameters to each WBS to configure each WBS. Each WBS has logic thereon to that allows the WBSs to discover one another and self-organize into one or more clusters of WBSs. The WBSs cooperate to select one of the WBS as a master of each cluster. Furthermore, the logic on each WBS provides for a failure mechanism such that if the master becomes inoperable, another WBS is promoted to master. These self-organized clusters of WBSs collaborate to provide a variety of services, such as fast handoff of client devices, load balancing, and rogue device detection/mitigation. Based on the foregoing, there is no single point of failure.
