REPEATER EMULATION TO INCREASE NETWORK RANGE

摘要

Technologies are generally described for methods and systems configured to increase a range of a network. In an example, a method for increasing a range of a first network may include sending a request by a communication device to a network device while the communication device is in a range of the first network. The request may include a request for discovery data that identifies the first network. The method may further include receiving, by the communication device, the discovery data. The method may further include broadcasting, by the communication device, information based on the discovery data when the communication device is outside the range of the first network and when the communication device is configured to communicate over a second network. The second network may be different from the first network.

主权项

1. A method for increasing a range of a first network, the method comprising:
sending a request, by a communication device, to a network device while the communication device is in a range of the first network, where the request includes a request for discovery data that identifies the first network; receiving, by the communication device, the discovery data; and broadcasting, by the communication device, information based on the discovery data when the communication device is outside the range of the first network and when the communication device is configured to communicate over a second network different from the first network, wherein the broadcasted information is effective to indicate that the communication device is configured to communicate with the first network.
