Abstract
Apparatus and methods for conditioning wireless information flow in a wireless network. The system may include a processor that stores a digital key in a mobile device machine readable memory location designated for an optional WIFI frame field. The digital key may have a length (e.g., in bits) that is equal to a standard-specified length of the optional field. The digital key may have a length that is different from (e.g., longer or shorter than) the standard-specific length of the optional field. The optional field may include an IEEE 802.1Q virtual local area network ('VLAN') address, tag or field or any other suitable optional WIFI-related field. The key may correspond to a user flow conditioning database record that corresponds to an individual having access to the processor. The record may be used to provide service to the user.
