Abstract
Systems and methods for providing adaptive probe responses may be provided. An Access Point (AP) may receive a new probe response configuration, and compare the new probe response configuration to an old probe response configuration. The AP may determine that AP is operating in an ignore, a duplicate, or a hybrid mode based on the comparison of the new probe response configuration to the old probe response configuration. The AP may determine one or more probe response structures using the new probe response configuration and/or the old probe response configuration based on the mode the AP is operating in. When the AP receives a probe request from a Station (STA), the AP may send one or more probe responses in the probe response structures based the mode the AP is operating in.
