Systems and methods for fast initial network link setup

摘要

Systems and methods for communicating in a wireless communication system are described. Various processes for reducing the initial link set up time are described. In one aspect, a method in a wireless communication system is provided. The method includes transmitting a message advertising wireless communication from an access point. The method further includes receiving a plurality of access requests from a plurality of devices. The method further includes determining demand for wireless communication based on the plurality of access requests. The method further includes modifying a broadcast of the message advertising the wireless communication based on the determined demand.

主权项

1. A method of reducing signaling during link setup in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
transmitting a message advertising wireless communication from an access point; receiving a plurality of access requests from a plurality of devices; determining demand for wireless communication based on the plurality of access requests, the determining demand comprising detecting a change in a number of access requests for the wireless communication over a period of time; and modifying a broadcast of the message advertising the wireless communication based on the determined demand, the modifying comprising increasing a number of times the message advertising the wireless communication is broadcast when the change detected is an increased number of access requests, and the modifying further comprising decreasing a number of times the message advertising the wireless communication is broadcast when the change detected is a decreased number of access requests.
