Abstract

A set of new information elements are defined that are to be used between an access point and a client that allow an access point to advertise its capabilities, configuration, and/or parameters allowing the client to tune to the parameters prior to, during, or after associating with the access point. If the access point adjusts these parameters, the changes are advertised in subsequent beacons and response frames and the client responsive to receiving a beacon or response frame with changed parameters will change its parameters accordingly. If the station changes its operating parameters it will send a message to the access point informing the access point of the changes.
