Abstract
A computer-implemented method may include receiving at a wireless device one or more beacon packets sent by a communication base station, determining a delay period at the wireless device, wherein the delay period is determined so that a delay for the wireless device is different than a delay for another wireless device, sending a first association request from the wireless device after waiting for the delay period, and establishing communication with the base station if an association response is received from the base station within a determined time period. The first association request may include information identifying the wireless device and an association code.
