Abstract: Systems and methods for enabling wireless devices to discover a number of other proximate wireless devices are disclosed. The discovery may include the discovery of network configuration parameters useful for establishing a connection between the wireless devices. The disclosed systems and methods for device discovery may operate in a number of different modes to timely discover wireless devices that receive communications continuously, as well as wireless devices that turn off their wireless receivers for intermittent periods of time. The wireless devices may, for example, communicate using the IEEE 802.11 protocol.

Abstract: Systems and methods for connection and remote configuration of wireless nodes communicating on a shared-communications channel. A master node includes a processor configured to generate a frame including configuration information designating network configuration parameters for configuring a remote wireless node for network communications. The master node transmits the frame over the shared communication channel to a slave node to be configured. The slave node includes a receiver for receiving the frame from the master node on the shared communication channel. The slave node includes a processor for configuring the wireless node to communicate according to the network configuration parameters designated by the configuration information in the frame.
