Corinex Global GameNet User Manual

In multi-network scenarios, such as the one depicted in the picture above, there is a 
new entity, called the QoS controller. The QoS controller’s role is to assign channel 
access to the different networks. The QoS controller acts at the same time as the 
AP of one of the networks. In the presence of several networks, the coexistence 
protocol automatically selects one of the APs as the QoS controller.

4.2.2.1 Two Networks on Different Circuits
If two In-Home AV networks are configured, with no direct visibility between any of 
the adapters belonging to different networks, then these two networks will behave 
as two independent networks. Both APs will act as QoS controllers.

Different networks are defined by different network IDs. 

If two In-Home AV networks are configured as public networks, the coexistence 
protocol will act as if there were only one network. The network ID is transmitted 
by every adapter to communicate the existence of its network. If an adapter with  
network ID A receives network ID B, then it knows that there are at least two 
networks sharing the channel. 

For example, one In-Home AV network is configured and running. A second 
network is configured and becomes active. Then the second network will notify 
the first network of its existence in some specified access slots, and both networks 
will automatically be reconfigured and will share the channel. If both networks are 
configured at the same time, the QoS controller will be selected from all available 
APs.
