  • Apparatus, and associated method, for facilitating network scanning by a WLAN terminal operable in a multiple-network WLAN system
    Patent number: 7366511
    Abstract: Apparatus, and an associated method, for facilitating identification of primary, secondary, and hidden SSID values in a multi-network WLAN system. A determiner embodied at a mobile terminal determines primary SSID values of networks whose beacon signals are delivered to the mobile terminal. And, responsive to the determinations, further determinations are made as to where to send subsequent probe requests to probe for secondary or hidden SSID values associated with the access points from which the beacon signals are broadcast. Thereafter, selection is made of the network with which the mobile terminal shall communicate.
