Abstract

An apparatus and a method for providing an efficient multi-client access in a WLAN, the method comprising the step of: when the number of clients exceeds a threshold, creating at least two virtual access points (VAP1, VAP2, VAP3); load balancing by distributing workloads across the created at least two virtual access points; and dynamically allocating at least one quality of service parameter (e.g., timeslots, AIFS, TXOP, maximum and minimum contention window) to each of the created at least two virtual access points.
