Abstract
In one embodiment, a method for associating in a basic service set (BSS) includes receiving, by a first node, a first packet from a second node and determining whether association is pursued in accordance with a first traffic type accepted by the first node and the first packet including a second traffic type accepted by the second node or in accordance with a first device type of the first node and the first packet including a second device type of the second node. The method also includes attaching the first node to the second node when association is pursued.
Claims23
A method of associating in a basic service set (B SS), the method comprising:
- receiving, by a first node, a first packet from a second node;
- determining whether association is pursued in accordance with a first traffic type accepted by the first node and the first packet comprising a second traffic type accepted by the second node or in accordance with a first device type of the first node and the first packet comprising a second device type of the second node;
- and
- attaching the first node to the second node when association is pursued.
A method of associating in a basic service set (BSS), the method comprising:
- transmitting, by a first node to a second node, a first packet;
- ascertaining, by the first node, whether association is pursued in accordance with an indication from the second node in accordance with a first traffic type accepted by the first node and the first packet comprising a second traffic type accepted by the second node or in accordance with a first device type of the first node and the first packet comprising a second device type of the second node;
- and
- attaching the first node to the second node when association is pursued.
A first wireless communications node, wherein the first wireless communications node comprises:
- a processor;
- and
- a computer readable storage medium storing programming for execution by the processor, the programming including instructions to
- receive, by the first wireless communications node, a first packet from a second wireless communications node,
- determine whether association is pursued in accordance with a first traffic type accepted by the first wireless communications node and the first packet comprising a second traffic type accepted by the second wireless communications node or in accordance with a first device type of the first wireless communications node and the first packet comprising a second device type of the second wireless communications node,
- indicate, by the first wireless communications node to the second wireless communications node, whether association is pursued, and
- attach the first wireless communications node to the second wireless communications node when association is pursued.
A first wireless communications node, wherein the first wireless communications node comprises:
- a processor;
- and
- a computer readable storage medium storing programming for execution by the processor, the programming including instructions to
- transmit, to a second node, a first packet,
- ascertain whether association is pursued in accordance with an indication from the second node in accordance with a first traffic type accepted by the first node and the first packet comprising a second traffic type accepted by the second node or in accordance with a first device type of the first node and the first packet comprising a second device type of the second node, and
- attach the first node to the second node when association is pursued.
