Abstract
The invention includes additional uses for the SSID of the IEEE 802.11 beacon to include reliable and secure capability encoding. The SSID in the system can be controlled by applications and transmitted with periodic broadcasting or point to point communication, so interoperable communication of application or user preferences/capabilities/membership can be transmitted and quickly determined by peers.
