Abstract
A method, apparatus, and system are described. A method in an access point (AP) configured for medium access control (MAC) address designation (MAAD) is described. The AP is configured to wirelessly communicate with a station (STA). The method comprises determining a first MAC address of the STA, where the first MAC address is usable as a transmitter address (TA) of the STA for a subsequent association to the AP by the STA, and transmitting the first MAC address to the STA in one of a response action frame and a message of a multiple-message handshake process.
