APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR ESTABLISHING CLIENT-HOST ASSOCIATIONS WITHIN WIRELESS NETWORK

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an active association corresponding to a host exclusively using a shared resource of a client in establishing a one-to-one association in a wireless network.SOLUTION: When the association is solid, requests from other hosts to establish an active association are denied. When the association is fragile, such requests are granted. In the case of a semi-solid association, a request from another host causes the client to generate a query to the host currently owning the active association. If the host currently owning the association grants a release, a new active association is established between the requesting host and the client. Otherwise, the request from the another host is denied.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3
