Figure 7. Steps in Using Time Slices
Next, consider a potential scenario that uses this mechanism (see figure 8). Assume there is a public Wi-Fi venue
where the venue WLAN provides services for itself and also for two service providers who lease the WLAN.
The network administrator assigns time slice 1 to the venue owner and assigns a weight of 10 to the available air
time to time slice 1. Basically, SSID 1 uses time slice 1 for the venue owner.
Next, the network administrator assigns time slice 2 to service provider A and assigns a weight of 45 for the
available air time to time slice 2. Note that time slice 2 could support two different networks (SSIDs) for service
provider A. In this case the SSIDs A_Network_1 and A_Network_2 both share time slice 2 since service provider A
is leasing a portion of the available air time.
Finally, the network administrator assigns time slice 3 to service provider B and assigns a weight of 45 for the
available air time to time slice 3. Note that time slice 3 could also support two different networks (SSIDs) for service
provider B. In this case the SSIDs B_Network_1 and B_Network_2 both share time slice 3 since service provider B
is leasing a portion of the available air time.
