Rapid scanning for fast initial link setup

摘要: Embodiments of station and responder method for reducing the time power consumption stations to scan wireless network coverage establish a link gain access thereto are generally described herein. In some embodiments, first phase establishing existence perhaps other characteristics responders, is followed by an discovery where can be established using active or passive scanning procedures. embodiments two phases somewhat combined with Probe Request Organizationally Unique Identifier as Scan ACK message acting Response transmitted separately. Specific timings constructs allow utilization within existing new 802.11 standards.
