Abstract
Described herein are methods and devices to provide support for a hidden SSID in an 802.11ad or directional multi-gigabit (DMG) wireless network. An access point (AP) of the DMG network may be configured to explicitly signal the hidden SSID configuration by sending probe responses that signal the hidden SSID configuration and/or signaling the hidden SSID configuration in DMG beacons transmitted by the AP.
