Abstract: A methods and apparatus may be used for accelerated link setup. A method may include a station (STA) acquiring information about an access point of an Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.11 network in advance through a previously connected IEEE 802.11 interface and/or an interface other than the IEEE 802.11 network. The STA may use the acquired information during a link setup procedure between the STA and the access point. The information may include a suggestion for a specific procedure to complete the link setup procedure between the STA and the access point.

Abstract: A method for fast initial link setup (FILS) for use in a wireless station, is disclosed. The method comprises receiving a FILS discovery (FD) frame from an access point (AP). The FD frame comprises an FD frame control field and FD frame contents. The FD frame control field comprises a service set identifier (SSID) indicator, indicating whether an SSID field in the FD frame contents contains a full SSID or a short SSID and an SSID length field, indicating a size of the full SSID or the short SSID contained in the SSID field in the FD frame contents. The method further comprises determining whether to associate with the AP based on the received FD frame; and on a condition the determination is positive, the method further comprises transmitting an association request frame to the AP. A wireless station is also disclosed.

Abstract: A method for use in a wireless station includes receiving a fast initial link setup discovery (FD) frame from an access point (AP) between instances of a full beacon frame and determining whether to associate with the AP based on the received FD frame. The FD frame includes FD frame contents and a FD frame control field. The FD frame control field includes a service set identifier (SSID) length field, corresponding to a length of a variable length SSID field in the FD frame contents; and any one or more of: a capability presence indicator, an access network options presence indicator, a security presence indicator, an AP configuration change count presence indicator, or an AP next target beacon transmission time presence indicator. Each of the presence indicators is used to indicate whether a corresponding field is present in the FD frame contents.

Abstract translation: 一种在无线站中使用的方法包括在完整信标帧的实例之间从接入点（AP）接收快速的初始链路建立发现（FD）帧，并且基于接收到的FD帧确定是否与AP相关联。 FD帧包括FD帧内容和FD帧控制字段。 FD帧控制字段包括对应于FD帧内容中的可变长度SSID字段的长度的服务集标识符（SSID）长度字段; 以及以下任何一个或多个：能力存在指示符，接入网络选项存在指示符，安全存在指示符，AP配置改变计数存在指示符或AP下一个目标信标传输时间存在指示符。 每个存在指示符用于指示FD帧内容中是否存在相应的字段。
