Abstract
A method, apparatus, and software containing computer readable code to implement the method implemented in a first wireless device. The method includes, for a particular network identifier active in a wireless network, transmitting frames configured to advertise the infrastructure network of the particular network identifier. The transmitting of off-channel beacons is in a provided channel different than the channel in which the access point of the infrastructure wireless of the particular network identifier transmits beacon frames. The transmitting of off-channel beacons further is at a rate higher than the beacon rate frame at which the access point of the infrastructure wireless of the particular network identifier transmits beacon frames.
