SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR REDUCED LATENCY WHEN ESTABLISHING COMMUNICATION WITH A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

Systems and methods reduce latency associated with establishing communication on a wireless network. In one aspect, an access point determines interface identifiers for associated stations. Because the access point can ensure interface identifiers are not duplicated across associated stations, the need for duplicate address detection by the stations is reduced. In another aspect, an access point provides domain name system server network address information to a station. By providing the network address information of the DNS server, the need for the station to perform separate signaling to obtain the information is reduced. In another aspect, an access point transmits a mapping of a first station's network address to the first station's medium access control address to one or more associated stations. This may reduce the need for an associated station to perform address resolution signaling when attempting to communicate with the first station.

主权项

1. A method of reducing latency in wireless communication, comprising:
transmitting, by a first station, an association request to an access point; and receiving, by the first station, an association response from the access point, the association response indicating at least a portion of an assigned network address having been assigned by the access point, or at least one network address of at least one domain name system server.
