Abstract: System and method for communications in an ad-hoc multi-hop Wi-Fi network are disclosed. The MAC address of an intended recipient is propagated through an advertised SSID or probe response information element of multiple network participants. The group of network participants that convey the MAC address for the intended recipient are connect with each other as Wi-Fi Direct group owners connect to downstream Wi-Fi Direct clients. An access point may control when a Wi-Fi device is allowed to connect based upon whether or not the access point has data, commands, or information to be sent to the Wi-Fi device. If the access point has no data, commands, or information is ready to be sent to the Wi-Fi device, then the access point will add the Wi-Fi device to a list of excluded MAC addresses.

Abstract translation: 公开了一种用于自组织多跳Wi-Fi网络中的通信的系统和方法。 预期接收者的MAC地址通过多个网络参与者的通告的SSID或探测响应信息元素进行传播。 作为Wi-Fi Direct组所有者连接到下游Wi-Fi Direct客户端的，传达预期接收者的MAC地址的网络参与者组彼此连接。 接入点可以基于接入点是否具有要发送到Wi-Fi设备的数据，命令或信息来允许Wi-Fi设备被允许连接。 如果接入点没有数据，命令或信息准备好发送到Wi-Fi设备，则接入点将Wi-Fi设备添加到排除的MAC地址列表中。
