An end device operates as an access point to setup communication with a wireless station. Once the communication has been setup, the end device exchanges data packets with the wireless station while operating as an access point. The end device and the wireless station are included in a WLAN network according to IEEE 802.11 standards. Operation as an access point enables the end device to communicate with a large number of wireless stations. Such communication can be the basis for implementation of various management applications on wireless stations. In an embodiment, the end point includes a blood pressure sensor, and transmits (while operating as an access point) blood pressure measurements to a mobile phone operating as a wireless station. |
