Abstract
A method for use by a WLAN terminal in determining which of at least some SSIDs on a preferred SSID list hosted by the WLAN terminal are available at one or another accessible WLAN access point, based on sending probe messages to accessible WLAN access points, each probe message indicating a respective SSID, but sending such a probe message for an SSID on the list only if a respective indicator included in the list indicates that the WLAN terminal is to probe for the SSID.
