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 setup time are described. In one aspect a method in a wireless communication system is provided. The method includes queuing for transmission, at a first device, a first message for requesting information to establish a link with an access point, the first message including a network identifier for the access point. The method further includes, before transmission of the message, receiving a second message including the information. The method further includes removing the message from the queue when the second message includes the information.

主权项

1. A method of reducing signaling during link setup in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
storing for transmission, at a first device, a first message for requesting information to establish a link with an access point, the first message including a network identifier for the access point, wherein the first device is a mobile atation; before transmission of the message, receiving a second message, at the first device from the access point, including the information; and removing the message from a queue when the second message includes the information; wherein the second message is a beacon frame or a message generated by the access point in response to a request from a third device.
