Abstract

In a data transmission method of a wireless access point (WAP), the WAP determines whether a probe request frame transmitted from a mobile device is present in a wireless network. The WAP further transmits a beacon frame in response to the probe request frame when the probe request frame is present in the wireless network.

Claims (28)

1. A computer-implemented data transmission method of a wireless access point (WAP), the WAP providing a wireless network, the method comprising:

determining whether a probe request frame transmitted from a mobile device is present in the wireless network;

transmitting a beacon frame in response to the probe request frame;

determining whether a wireless connection between the WAP and the mobile device is disconnected; and

terminating the transmission of the beacon frame when the wireless connection between the WAP and the mobile device is disconnected.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining whether a frame relative to IEEE 802.11 standards is present in the wireless network.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

transmitting a probe response frame in response to the probe request frame.

4. A wireless access point (WAP), capable of providing a wireless network, comprising:

a storage system;

at least one processor;

one or more programs stored in the storage system and being executable by the at least one processor, the one or more programs comprising:

a determination module operable to determine whether a probe request frame transmitted from a mobile device is present in the wireless network;

a transmission module operable to transmit a beacon frame in response to the probe request frame;

a monitor module operable to monitor a wireless connection between the WAP and the mobile device; and

the transmission module further operable to terminate the transmission of the beacon frame when the wireless connection between the WAP and the mobile device is disconnected.

5. The WAP of claim 4 , wherein the determination module further determines whether the frame relative to IEEE 802.11 standards is present in the wireless network.

6. The WAP of claim 4 , wherein the transmission module further transmits a probe response frame in response to the probe request frame.

7. A non-transitory storage medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by a processor, causing the processor to perform a data transmission method of a wireless access point (WAP), the WAP providing a wireless network, wherein the method comprises:

determine whether a probe request frame transmitted from a mobile device is present in the wireless network;

transmit a beacon frame in response to the probe request frame;

determine whether a wireless connection between the WAP and the mobile device is disconnected; and

terminate the transmission of the beacon frame when the wireless connection between the WAP and the mobile device is disconnected.

8. The non-transitory storage medium of claim 7 , wherein the method further comprises:

determine whether a frame relative to IEEE 802.11 standards is present in the wireless network.

9. The non-transitory storage medium of claim 7 , wherein the method further comprises:

transmit a probe response frame in response to the probe request frame.
