Abstract:
Systems, methods, and instrumentalities are disclosed for reducing contention in a wireless network. An IEEE 802.11 station (STA) may send a request frame to an IEEE 802.11 access point (AP). The AP may be able to accommodate the IEEE 802.11 STA. The STA may receive a response frame that may include a basic service set (BSS) discovery policy. The IEEE 802.11 STA may send a revised request frame, when the indicated BSS discover method is active scanning. The revised request frame may be sent based on the BSS discovery policy received from the IEEE 802.11 AP during the period of time. The IEEE 802.11 STA may send the revised request frame, e.g., when time elapsed since last second request exceeds an active scanning interval. The IEEE 802.11 STA may refrain from sending the second request frame, e.g., when the indicated BSS discovery method received from the IEEE 802.11 AP is passive scanning.

Claim (Index 8):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein the BSS discovery policy is associated with a type of STA.
