Abstract
This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to enhanced capability advertising. A device may send a Beacon frame or a Probe Response frame on a legacy band, including an enhanced Security Element containing one or more fields of an original robust security network element (RSNE). The device may override at least one of the one or more fields from the enhanced Security Element over corresponding fields in the original RSNE during a connection establishment process with a peer device.
Claims20
A device, the device comprising processing circuitry coupled to storage, the processing circuitry configured to:
- send a Beacon frame or a Probe Response frame on a legacy band, including an enhanced Security Element containing one or more fields of an original robust security network element (RSNE);
- and
- override at least one of the one or more fields from the enhanced Security Element over corresponding fields in the original RSNE during a connection establishment process with a peer device.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions which when executed by one or more processors result in performing operations comprising:
- sending a Beacon frame or a Probe Response frame on a legacy band, including an enhanced Security Element containing one or more fields of an original robust security network element (RSNE);
- and
- overriding at least one of the one or more fields from the enhanced Security Element over corresponding fields in the original RSNE during a connection establishment process with a peer device.
A method comprising:
- sending a Beacon frame or a Probe Response frame on a legacy band, including an enhanced Security Element containing one or more fields of an original robust security network element (RSNE);
- and
- overriding at least one of the one or more fields from the enhanced Security Element over corresponding fields in the original RSNE during a connection establishment process with a peer device.
