The current approaches July 2004 The current approaches Are based on: Static configuration of the BSSID Utilizing Beacon report Using IAPP concept Peyush Agarwal, STMicroelectronics
APs build network information July 2004 APs build network information MAC Init / Reset (AP) Initialized MAC Beacon frame (with Original Channel Number IE) Probe Request (Broadcast BSSID) Probe Response IEEE - STA Active Scan Algorithm Site Report DB Peyush Agarwal, STMicroelectronics
Delivering information July 2004 Delivering information Requesting STA AP Site Report Request Site Report Response Peyush Agarwal, STMicroelectronics
July 2004 Advantages Initialized AP has the network information – STA can request the information ‘anytime’. Site Report with no disruptions in the STA’s ‘network connectivity’ Peyush Agarwal, STMicroelectronics
