  • Group provisioning of wireless stations of a wireless local area network (WLAN)
    Patent number: 9326301
    Abstract: An aspect of the present disclosure enables convenient provisioning of multiple wireless devices. In an embodiment, a provisioning agent (e.g., a smart phone) identifies wireless devices requiring provisioning to operate as wireless stations and communicates with each wireless device to provide provisioning parameters for joining a first basic service set (BSS). However, during such communication, the provisioning agent operates as a wireless station and each wireless device operates as an access point (AP) outside of the first BSS. Each wireless device is enabled to be configured according to the received provisioning parameters to thereafter operate as a corresponding wireless station of the first BSS.
