Abstract
Systems, methods, and devices for communicating in a wireless network are provided. In one aspect, a non-zero portion of a node identifier may be used to generate a partial association identifier. If no portion of the node identifier can be determined to be non-zero, then a default value may be used for the partial association identifier. In some other aspects, the partial association identifier may be based on a random number. In some other aspects, a portion of a node identifier is evaluated to determine if it is zero. If the portion is non-zero, a partial association identifier is generated based on the portion. If the portion is zero, a partial association identifier is generated based on the portion.
