Abstract:
Embodiments of system and method configurations for providing provisioning information to a mobile device via a wireless network access point are generally described herein. In some examples, a communication session is established between a mobile device and a service provider to obtain provisioning information for wireless network connectivity via a designated access point (e.g., a “hotspot”). A HTTP session is established within the communication session to exchange registration information via a browser of the mobile device. Provisioning information is returned within the communication session in a Subscription Management Object (MO) in response to successful completion of the HTTP session. The subscription MO is provided outside of the browser and the HTTP session (but within the communication session) using mechanisms such as OMA-DM or SOAP-XML communications. The mobile device can then utilize the provisioning information from the subscription MO to associate with an appropriate hotspot.
Abstract:
Some demonstrative embodiments include apparatuses, systems and/or methods of multiband wireless communication. For example, a multiband wireless communication device may include a receiver to receive a first message from a mobile device, the first message including multiband capability information indicating a plurality of supported wireless communication bands of the mobile device; a controller to select a selected wireless communication band from the plurality of supported wireless communication bands; and a transmitter to transmit a second message to the mobile device, the second message including an indication of the selected wireless communication band.
Abstract:
A wireless communication device, system and method. The device comprises a memory and processing circuitry coupled to the memory. The processing circuitry has logic to cause transmission of a first frame to a wireless access point (AP), the first frame including information regarding a location of the device, the information regarding a location of the device including information regarding a current location of the device or information regarding a target location to result from movement of the device. The processing circuitry is further to process a second frame from the AP, the second frame including a list of one or more roaming candidate APs, wherein the list is based on the information regarding the location of the device in the first frame. The processing circuitry is further to cause scanning of one or more channels corresponding to the one or more roaming candidate APs in response to the second frame, and transition to one of the one or more roaming candidate APs after causing scanning.

Abstract:
In one example, a method for providing probe responses in a wireless communication network includes determining, in response to a broadcast probe request from a station, to respond to the broadcast probe request based on whether the station previously acknowledges a previous broadcast probe response from an access point. Additionally, the method includes transmitting a probe response to the station based on the determination.
