summary “association based attenuation level in communication networks” an electric vehicle can be configured to perform an association procedure with one or more 5 charging stations in a charging facility to safely connect to and receive electricity from one of the Charging stations. The electric vehicle may broadcast one or more service combination messages to the charging stations and, in response, may receive attenuation information from one or more of the charging stations. The electric vehicle can analyze the attenuation information received from charging stations to identify which charging station the electric vehicle should associate with (for example, to determine which charging station should supply electric power to the electric vehicle). The electric vehicle can then associate with (and receive electrical power from) the identified charging station.
