Claims40
A method comprising:
- determining an identifier of an access terminal authorized to use an access point;
- transmitting a service redirection message including the identifier of an access terminal authorized to use an access point.
An apparatus comprising:
- an access point including a processor and a memory, the processor programmed to:
- determine an identifier of an access terminal authorized to use an access point;
- and
- transmit a service redirection message including the identifier.
A computer readable medium comprising instructions to cause an access point to:
- determine an identifier of an access terminal authorized to use an access point;
- and
- transmit a service redirection message including the identifier.
A method comprising, at an access terminal:
- receiving a service redirection message;
- locating an identifier of the access terminal in the service redirection message;
- and
- changing a mode of operation based on the service redirection message.
An apparatus comprising:
- an access terminal including a processor programmed to:
- receive a service redirection message;
- locate an identifier of the access terminal in the service redirection message;
- and
- change a mode of operation based on the service redirection message.
A method of directing a selected access terminal to use a particular access point, comprising:
- transmitting a service redirection message formatted according to a 1xRTT protocol specification for a global service redirection message,
- the service redirection message being addressed specifically to the access terminal.
A method comprising:
- receiving, at an access terminal, a first beacon signal from a first access point having a service redirection message including an identifier, and
- switching the access terminal to a operating frequency of the first access point if, based on the identifier, the access terminal is authorized to use the first access point.
