- The patent application describes apparatuses and methods for implementing communication using discovery frames and group addressed frames. - The method involves generating a first frame that is individually addressed to a specific electronic device, indicated by setting the association identifier (AID) value of the frame to a first value. - The method also involves generating a second frame that is addressed to a group of electronic devices, indicated by setting the AID value of the frame to a second value different from the first value. - Both the first and second frames are then transmitted to their respective destinations.
Original Abstract Submitted
Some embodiments of this disclosure include apparatuses and methods for implementing discovery frames and group addressed frames communication. For example, some embodiments relate to a method including generating a first frame to be transmitted to a first electronic device. An association identifier (AID) value of the first frame is set to a first value to indicate that the first frame is an individually addressed frame addressed to the first electronic device. The method further includes generating a second frame to be transmitted to a group of one or more electronic devices. An AID value of the second frame is set to a second value different from the first value. The method also includes transmitting the first frame and the second frame.
