METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR INDICATING THE PRESENCE OF A WIRELESS LOCAL AREA NETWORK BY DETECTING SIGNATURE SEQUENCES

摘要

A method and apparatus for detecting the presence of a wireless local area network (WLAN) (104) detects at least one signature sequence in a radio frequency (RF) signal associated with a WLAN (104). The present invention indicates the presence of a WLAN (104) in response to the detection of the at least one signature sequence in the RF signal.
