Abstract
A network communication structure, system and method are disclosed in the invention. The network communication structure includes client devices, a power line network and access points. One of the access points is connected to an external internet. The access points are all connected in the power line network, such that a first local area network is formed between the access points. Each of the access points utilizes an omni-directional antenna to form a local area sub-network between the access point and a client device. Each of the access points utilizes a directional antenna to form a second local area network between access points. According to a network quality of the power line network, each of the access points transmits an information packet to another access point via the first local area network or the second local area network.
