Abstract:
A system and method of ANQP querying using a common ANQP group version. One embodiment of the method includes associating an original common ANQP group version with a common ANQP group, transmitting a message containing the original common ANQP group version to at least one station, associating a new common ANQP group version with the common ANQP group when an element therein is changed, and transmitting another message containing the new common ANQP group version to the at least one station.
Abstract:
An extension to the Access Network Query Protocol (ANQP) protocol allows stations (STAs) to discover multiple APs via a single ANQP request/response exchange. A STA can send a single ANQP request message to request information for multiple APs, e.g., two or more neighboring APs. The receiving AP may retrieve discovery information for one or more neighboring APs, and send an AP response message including the retrieved discovery information to the requesting STA. The ANQP request message identify the multiple APs for which discovery information is sought, and may specify which information is being requested for that corresponding AP.
Abstract:
A method embodiment includes receiving, by an access point (AP), a request for an access network query protocol (ANQP) element, and multicasting the ANQP element as an ANQP information element (IE), wherein the ANQP IE is configured in accordance with a format transmittable by the AP in a multicast.
