Mobile stations can query independent basic service set (BSS) parameters of a group of Access Points (APs) by setting a Pre-Association Message Exchange BSSID Independent (PAME-BI) bit during Wi-Fi discovery. The PAME-BI bit may be included in a Generic Advertisement Service (GAS) request to indicate that an Access Network Query Protocol (ANQP) request carried by the GAS request is querying both independent and dependent BSS parameters. In some embodiments, the PAME-BI bit is included as a field in the ANQP query, rather than the GAS request message.

System and method for common attributes in HESSID and the associated queries

The present invention provides a method, device and system for maintaining wireless networks, wherein the method includes: an AC receives a wireless access network status parameter fedback by an AP according to a time triggering mode or an event triggering mode; the AC updates the Status Set parameter of the AP locally stored, according to the wireless access network status parameter; the AC updates an event occurrence status parameter of the AP locally stored, according to the updated Status Set parameter and the event update strategy locally stored, wherein the event update strategy refers to an corresponding relationship between the Status Set parameter and the event occurrence status parameter; and the AC maintains the wireless network configuration parameter of the AP according to the updated event occurrence status parameter. By use of the present invention, the problems of a high maintenance cost for artificially maintaining wireless networks and a long maintenance time after a fault occurs are solved, and the stability of the user wireless networks are ensured.

Method, device, and systems for managing access points controlled by an access point controller

A mobile station selects a provider such as an online sign up (OSU) provider by receiving a pre-association message including OSU selection information from a Wi-Fi network component, such as an access point in communication with the OSU provider, and sending a selection of an OSU provider in accordance with the OSU selection information to the network component. The OSU selection information excludes identification of the OSU network provider or resource, but provides other attributes to the user, such as price or service configuration. The pre-association message may be transmitted as a beacon or using ANQP.

System and method for online sign up provider selection

When an access point notifies a user equipment of a communications network supported by the access point, the access point also notifies the user equipment of priority information of the access point, so that the user equipment can select an access point that an operator expects the UE to select, to be connected to the communications network, thereby avoiding inconsistency between an access point, which is randomly selected by the user equipment to be connected to a communications network, and an access point that a communications network operator expects the UE to select.

Network access method and device

In embodiments, a UE notifies an AP of information about a home operator of the UE; and the AP determines whether the home operator of the UE uses a hotspot virtualization technology on the AP, and if the home operator uses the hotspot virtualization technology on the AP, sends the information about the home operator of the UE as information about the AP access service operator to the UE, so that in a case in which the home operator of the UE and the AP access service operator are different, the UE considers the AP access service operator as the home operator of the UE and therefore preferentially selects a network of the home operator to access a communications network by using the AP.

Method and device for notifying wireless access point service virtual provider

The present invention provides a security identity discovery method, through hiding or omitting MAC addresses of the first station and a second station in a frame for identity discovery between the two stations, adopting identity codes to identify the identities of the two stations and authenticating the identities by using a ciphertext, improves the degree of privacy protection during identity discovery of the stations.

Security identity discovery and communication method

An embodiment method for network detection and selection includes receiving, by a user equipment (UE), a network detection and selection policy including a load threshold element, the UE further receiving load information element from an access network (AN), and applying the network detection and selection policy to the AN.
