  • Publication number: 20120127980
    Abstract: Disclosed is the transmission of data other than an identification of the wireless network (non-network id data) in a network identification field (NIF) of a wireless frame. The wireless transmitting device (Tx) may generate a wireless frame according to a network protocol and place a representation of the data in the NIF of the frame. The Tx may insert in the frame an indication that the data is non-network id data and transmit the frame over a wireless network according to the network protocol. The indication may be provided by the values of one or more fields of the frame. The receiving device may recognize that the NIF contains non-network id data and may extract the data from the NIF.

  • Patent number: 8078160
    Abstract: A wireless device having capabilities to receive identification signals from other wireless devices identifies specific wireless devices by said transmitting devices maximum set identification field. Once the transmitting device is identified as having its maximum length identifier set the receiving device may further allow access or data transfer to an alternate network using the contents of the maximum length identifier and/or MAC address of the transmitting device. The wireless devices may conform to the widely popular IEEE 802.11x specifications.
