NETWORK ASSOCIATION OF COMMUNICATION DEVICES BASED ON ATTENUATION INFORMATION

摘要

A client network device may associate with a service provider to receive a service. For example, a client network device may transmit a number of broadcast messages to one or more service providers. The number of broadcast messages may be determined based, at least in part, on a first communication parameter received from at least one of the service providers. The client network device may receive first attenuation information from a first service provider after transmitting the number of broadcast messages. The client network device may associate with the first service provider based, at least in part, on the first attenuation information. In one example, a vehicle can associate with a charging station in a charging facility to securely communicate with and receive electric power from the charging station.
