A computer-readable non-transitory storage medium that contains instructions, which when executed by one or more processors result in performing operations comprising: generating a beacon frame at a beacon interval, the beacon frame comprising: a timestamp field for synchronization of a clock in a device receiving the beacon frame; a service set identifier, SSID, field for identifying a network; and one or more capability fields including capability information associated with an access point or the network; generating a traffic indicator map, TIM, element for transmission at a TIM interval, the TIM element comprising a TIM for indicating buffered traffic; and transmitting the beacon frame over a wireless communication medium and transmitting the TIM element over the wireless communications medium, wherein transmitting the beacon frame and the TIM element over the wireless communication medium is performed using frequencies below 1 GHz; wherein the operations further comprise: receiving a probe request from an unassociated device in response to the beacon frame ; and transmitting a probe response to the unassociated device in response to said receiving the probe request ; wherein said receiving the probe request and said transmitting the probe response both occur after said transmitting the beacon frame but before said transmitting the TIM element and wherein said receiving the probe request and said transmitting the probe response are also performed over the wireless communication medium using frequencies below 1 GHz. generating a beacon frame at a beacon interval, the beacon frame comprising: a timestamp field for synchronization of a clock in a device receiving the beacon frame; a service set identifier, SSID, field for identifying a network; and one or more capability fields including capability information associated with an access point or the network; a timestamp field for synchronization of a clock in a device receiving the beacon frame; a service set identifier, SSID, field for identifying a network; and one or more capability fields including capability information associated with an access point or the network; generating a traffic indicator map, TIM, element for transmission at a TIM interval, the TIM element comprising a TIM for indicating buffered traffic; and transmitting the beacon frame over a wireless communication medium and transmitting the TIM element over the wireless communications medium, wherein transmitting the beacon frame and the TIM element over the wireless communication medium is performed using frequencies below 1 GHz; wherein the operations further comprise: receiving a probe request from an unassociated device in response to the beacon frame ; and transmitting a probe response to the unassociated device in response to said receiving the probe request ; wherein said receiving the probe request and said transmitting the probe response both occur after said transmitting the beacon frame but before said transmitting the TIM element and wherein said receiving the probe request and said transmitting the probe response are also performed over the wireless communication medium using frequencies below 1 GHz. receiving a probe request from an unassociated device in response to the beacon frame ; and transmitting a probe response to the unassociated device in response to said receiving the probe request ; wherein said receiving the probe request and said transmitting the probe response both occur after said transmitting the beacon frame but before said transmitting the TIM element and wherein said receiving the probe request and said transmitting the probe response are also performed over the wireless communication medium using frequencies below 1 GHz. <EOS>
