Abstract: A wireless system as discussed herein includes a mobile communication device. The mobile communication device transmits first wireless communications over a first wireless communication link to a first wireless access point. The mobile communication device receives a notification such as from the first wireless access point. The notification indicates power information associated with the first wireless access point receiving wireless communications from the mobile communication device. The wireless communications over the first wireless communication link are encoded in accordance with a first wireless communication protocol. A connection management resource associated with the mobile communication device controls handoff of the mobile communication device from the first wireless access point to a second wireless access point based on the notification. The second wireless access point supports communication with the mobile communication device via a second wireless communication protocol.

Abstract: According to one configuration, an example communication system includes multiple communication devices such as a primary wireless access point and a secondary wireless access point (such as a so-called wireless network extender). The primary wireless access point can be configured to control operation of the secondary wireless access point. A communication management resource (such as location management function) associated with the communication system receives first location information indicating a location of the secondary wireless access point. The communication management resource determines a relative position of the primary wireless access point with respect to the secondary wireless access point. Based on the first location information and the determined relative position, the communication management resource produces (derives) second location information indicating a location of the primary wireless access point.
