HESSID SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR COMMON ATTRIBUTES IN HESSID AND THE ASSOCIATED QUERIES

摘要

The mobile station can query the basic service set (BSS) parameters of the Access Point (AP) group by setting the PAME-BI (Pre-Association Message Exchange BSSID Independent) bit during Wi-Fi discovery. The PAME-BI bit may be included in a Generic Advertisement Service (GAS) request to indicate that an Access Network Query Protocol (ANQP) request carried by the GAS request queries both independent and dependent BSS parameters. In some embodiments, the PAME-BI bit is included as a field in an ANQP query rather than a GAS request message.
