Abstract
Methods and systems for exchanging sequential polls of data between a gateway and at least one access point. Each sequential poll includes data relating to statistics of the wireless network, and each sequential poll is performed only when at least one statistic of the wireless network has changed relative to a preceding poll.
Claims20
A device for communicating data to and from a client in a wireless network, the device capable of initiating sequential polls of data, each sequential poll comprising statistics relating to the wireless network, the device adapted to initiate a next sequential poll only when a statistic related to the wireless network has changed relative to a preceding poll.
A method comprising:
- requesting initial poll data from at least one access point in a wireless network, the initial poll data including a plurality of attributes, each having at least one associated parameter;
- determining whether an attribute of the initial poll data has changed relative to the initial poll data;
- and
- requesting second poll data from the at least one access point, the requested second poll limited to parameters associated with the attribute that has changed.
A method comprising:
- sending initial poll data to a gateway in a wireless network, the initial poll data including a plurality of attributes, each having at least one associated parameter;
- determining whether an attribute of the initial poll data has changed relative to the initial poll data;
- and
- sending second poll data to the gateway, the second poll limited to parameters associated with the attribute that has changed.
A method comprising:
- exchanging first poll data between a gateway and an access point;
- exchanging at least one of an M-NOTIFY message and a response to an M-SEARCH request, where the at least one of an M-NOTIFY message and a response to an M-SEARCH request includes a message that a TLS session is intact;
- and
- exchanging second poll data in a manner free from a handshake based on the message that the TLS session is intact.
