Abstract
A method for customizing wireless communication beacons includes (a) transmitting a first Unicast beacon from a first wireless termination point (WTP) to a first user equipment (UE) station, (b) receiving, at the first WTP, an acknowledgement data frame from the first UE station, (c) determining one or more characteristics of the first UE station from the acknowledgement data frame, (d) customizing one or more second Unicast beacons for the first UE station, based at least in part on the one or more characteristics of the first UE station, and (e) transmitting the one or more second Unicast beacons from the first WTP to the first UE station.
Claims21
A method for customizing wireless communication beacons, comprising:
- customizing, at a first wireless termination point (WTP), one or more Unicast beacons for a first user equipment (UE) station, based at least in part on one or more characteristics of the first UE station;
- and
- transmitting the one or more Unicast beacons from the first WTP to the first UE station.
A method for transmitting wireless communication beacons, comprising:
- aggregating a Unicast beacon with one or more additional data frames into an aggregated data unit;
- and
- transmitting the aggregated data unit from a first wireless termination point (WTP) to a first user equipment (UE) station.
A method for transmitting wireless communication beacons, comprising
- transmitting a Unicast beacon from a first wireless termination point (WTP) to a first user equipment (UE) station via one or more first sub-carriers of a wireless communication signal;
- and
- transmitting one or more additional data frames from the first WTP to one or more UE stations via one or more second sub-carriers of the wireless communication signal.
