Abstract: A mobile station selects a provider such as an online sign up (OSU) provider by receiving a pre-association message including OSU selection information from a Wi-Fi network component, such as an access point in communication with the OSU provider, and sending a selection of an OSU provider in accordance with the OSU selection information to the network component. The OSU selection information excludes identification of the OSU network provider or resource, but provides other attributes to the user, such as price or service configuration. The pre-association message may be transmitted as a beacon or using ANQP.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method for setting a clear channel assessment (CCA) threshold includes receiving, by a station from a first access point, a first message including an information element and determining a CCA threshold in accordance with the information element. The method also includes detecting a power level of a channel between the station and the access point to produce a first detected power level and comparing the first detected power level and the CCA threshold. Additionally, the method includes transmitting, by the station to the first access point on the channel, a second message when the detected power level is less than the CCA threshold.

Abstract: Wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) access points (APs) can advertise their support of both OMA-DM and SOAP-XML protocols by including protocol capability information in a broadcast or probe response message. The protocol capability information can include an OSU method list subfield that indicates that the Wi-Fi AP supports both OMA-DM and SOAP-XML protocols. The broadcast message may be an Access Network Query Protocol (ANQP) message, a beacon message, or some other generic advertisement services (GAS) message. Wi-Fi APs can also specify which WLAN type is preferred by a network operator by including a WLAN access type indication in a broadcast or probe response message. The WLAN access type indication may specify that a network operator prefers a passpoint, non-passpoint, vendor specific WLAN. The WLAN access type indication may be included in an access network discovery and selection function (ANDSF) management object (MO).

Abstract: A system and methods are provided to enable differentiated association of stations (STAs) in a WiFi system and provide differentiated quality of service (QoS) based association. The embodiments include categorizing STAs that share a channel of the WiFi network into different association priority classes, wherein the STAs with higher association priority classes wait for shorter times before starting association with an access point (AP) over the shared channel. The association priority classes are assigned by the AP or the WiFi network and signaled to the STAs. Alternatively, the association priority classes are assigned by the STAs and indicated to the AP or the WiFi network. The association priority class is determined for a STA according to traffic type, device type, subscriber type, or a random number generator.
