  • Patent number: 9894665
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for wireless communication. A station (STA) may be in the coverage area of a number of access points (APs). The STA may select an AP based on signal strength for each available AP. However, using only signal strength for selecting an AP may be insufficient, such as if an AP is a soft AP and may be connected to a number of different networks. As such an AP may transmit network information to the STA. The STA may request the network information through a probe request. The network information may be transmitted to the STA as a beacon or a probe response. The STA may use the network information in addition to the signal strength when determining an AP to select. An AP may transmit network information if a change in network conditions is detected.
