Abstract

A methods and an apparatus may be used for accelerated link setup. The method may include a station (STA) and acquiring information about an access point of an institute of electrical and electronics engineers (IEEE) 802.11 network in advance through a previously connected IEEE 802.11 interface and / or an interface other than the IEEE 802.11 network. The STA may use the acquired information during a link setup procedure between the STA and the access point. The information may include a suggestion for a specific procedure to complete the link setup procedure between the STA and the access point.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 585,420, filed January 11, 2012, and U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 719,663, filed October 29, 2012, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference . Background technique [0003] The link setup process may be configured to include multiple stages in an Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.11 communication system. An example link setup process may include an access point (AP) discovery phase, a network discovery phase, an additional time synchronization function (TSF) phase, an authentication and association phase, and a higher layer Internet Protocol (IP) setup phase. This link setup process can take several seconds or more to complete Contents of the invention [0004] A method and apparatus may be configured to perform accelerated link setup. A method may include that the station (STA) acquires info...
