Methods and apparatus for solicited activation for protected wireless networking

摘要: Methods and apparatus that enable solicited access to a secure wireless network having complex security protocols. In one embodiment, such is performed using streamlined or reduced number of steps includes an exemplary active/passive scanning protocol use optimized service discovery (SDP). Furthermore, multiple aspects the invention are directed improving enhancing user experience, including reduction “human” interaction requirements for operation (such as changing settings, entering addresses, etc.), furthermore, integrated utilization human readable text.
