METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR FAST IP ADDRESS ASSIGNMENT

摘要

A particular method includes receiving, at an access point, a set up message from a station. The set up message requests allocation of an internet protocol (IP) address. The method further includes selecting an available IP address from a pool of available IP addresses to assign to the station based on the set up message. The method further includes assigning the available IP address to the station as an assigned IP address. The method also includes transmitting a set up response to the station. The set up response identifies the assigned IP address.
