First Claim
Patent Images
1. An apparatus, comprising:
- an embedded station to receive a frame header via a first wireless interconnect, the frame header including a medium access control destination address identifying the embedded station;
an access point coupled to the embedded station; and
an address translation unit to create a modified frame header by replacing the medium access control destination address identifying the embedded station with a medium access control destination address identifying a remote station, the access point to transmit a frame including the modified frame header to the remote station via a second wireless interconnect.
