A reservation protocol is provided to enable a client mobile station to make a number of reservations with a number of access points to facilitate its access of a network at a future point in time, as it roams, and subsequently exercise one of the reservations.

Systems and methods provide a mechanism for wireless stations and access points to negotiate security parameters for protecting management frames. The access point and station determine which management frames they are capable of and desire to protect. Data indicating protected frames are then exchanged between the station and access point to select which management frames are to be protected and a protection mechanism to be used for protecting the management frames.

An embodiment of the present invention provides a method of pre-allocating and communicating IP address information during wireless communication by an access point, comprising pre-caching by said AP a predetermined number of IP addresses from a backend Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. An embodiment may further comprise providing by said AP an IP subnet roaming information element that provides the IP Address that a wireless station (STA) will be obtaining if a wireless station (STA) roams to a particular AP and providing by said AP an IP subnet roaming information element that provides an IP subnet mask that determines the network address and host address portion of the IP addresses and providing by said AP provides an IP subnet roaming information element that provides that provides a Default gateway router address.
摘要:
A system, apparatus, method and article to manage roaming in a wireless communication system are described. An apparatus may include a first wireless device having a processor to receive roaming information for a second wireless device from a third wireless device, and send the roaming information to the second wireless device to establish a connection with the third wireless device. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
摘要:
A method of authenticating a device's access to a communications node is disclosed. The method of operation includes the communications node generating a first value for use in the derivation of a first encryption key, the first encryption key being at least partially used to authenticate the device's access to the communications node in a first communications exchange. The method of operation includes the communications node modifying the first value, independent of the device, to create a second value. The method includes the communications node using the second value in authenticating the device's access to the communications node in a second communications exchange. Embodiments of the present invention include but are not limited to communications nodes and devices, subsystems, and systems equipped to operate in the above-described manner.

An embodiment provides a level of assurance regarding correct operation of software. An embodiment creates baseline and real-time measurements of software and compares the measurements to determine whether the software is operating correctly. An application provider may include “tracing elements” in target software application. While producing the application the trace elements are detected and provide trace events, which collectively provide a “baseline trace” indicating proper application execution. The provider supplies the application and the baseline trace to a user. The user operates the application in real-time to produce a “real-time trace” based on the application still having trace elements that produce trace events (which collectively form the “real-time” trace). A comparator compares the baseline and real-time traces. If the traces are within a pre-determined range of each other the user has a level of assurance the software is operating correctly. Other embodiments are included herein.

In an embodiment of the invention an application provider may include “tracing elements” in a target software application. While working with the application the trace elements are detected and provide a “baseline trace” indicating proper application execution. The provider then supplies the application, which still includes the trace elements, and the baseline trace to a user. The user operates the application to produce a “real-time trace” based on the application still having trace elements that produce trace events. A comparator then compares the baseline and real-time traces. If the traces are within a pre-determined range of each other the user has a level of assurance the software is operating correctly. If the level of assurance is low, an embodiment may trigger a hardware interrupt or similar event to prevent further execution of software. Other embodiments are described herein.
摘要:
Embodiments provide techniques for device power management in wireless networks. For instance, an apparatus may include a power management module, and a transceiver module. The power management module determines a beacon interval and a wakeup interval. The transceiver module to send a transmission to one or more remote devices that includes the beacon interval and the wakeup interval. The beacon interval indicates a time interval between consecutive beacon transmissions of the apparatus, and the wakeup interval indicates a time interval between when the apparatus receives two consecutive beacons from a peer device.
