METHOD FOR TRANSMITTING INFORMATION OF A MOBILE STATION THROUGH A WLAN

摘要

A method for transmitting information of a mobile station through a wireless local area network (WLAN) is provided. The WLAN includes a plurality of access points and a plurality of mobile stations, and is coupled to a management server. One mobile station communicates with one of the access points by management frames, and the access point communicates with the management server by packets. The method includes the steps of: adding an information element (IE) for storing information of the mobile station to a management frame by the mobile station; transmitting the management frame with the IE from the mobile station to the access point; adding content of the IE to a packet by the access point; and transmitting the packet from the access point to the management server.
