1. A method for transmitting data directly between a plurality of Dual Access Point and Station (“
- DAS”
)-enabled devices in a network, the method comprising;
receiving a broadcast message from a first DAS-enabled device of the plurality of DAS-enabled devices at a second DAS-enabled device in the plurality of DAS-enabled devices, wherein the broadcast message includes information indicating network capabilities of the first DAS-enabled device;
determining the network capabilities of the first DAS-enabled device in response to receiving the broadcast message;
exchanging packet information with the first DAS-enabled device based on the network capabilities of the first DAS-enabled device; and
establishing a direct communication path with the first DAS-enabled device.

26. A Dual Access Point and Station enabled device (“
- DAS-enabled device”
) for transmitting data directly between the DAS-enabled device and a plurality of client network devices in a network having an Access Point (“
AP”
) device separate from the plurality of client network devices and the DAS-enabled device, the DAS-enabled device comprising;a client (“
STA”
) module, wherein the STA module is configured to selectively communicate with the AP device or communicate directly with a first client network device from the plurality of client network devices; anda first subsidiary AP module (“
SAP-module”
), wherein the first SAP-module is configured to selectively communicate directly with the first client network device or another client network device from the plurality of client network devices,wherein the first client network device includes a second SAP-module and the plurality of client network devices include a plurality of STA modules. - View Dependent Claims (27, 28)

31. A method for transmitting data directly between a plurality of network-enabled devices in a network, the method comprising:
-
transmitting a broadcast message from a first network-enabled device of the plurality of network-enabled devices at a network-enabled device in the plurality of network-enabled devices, wherein the first network-enabled device includes an Access Point (“
AP”
) device and the broadcast message includes information indicating network capabilities of the first network-enabled device;receiving a response signal from at least a second network-enable device, wherein the response signal includes information utilized to attempt to associate the first network-enabled device with the at least second network-enabled device; restricting association attempts of the at least second network-enabled device utilizing a special rate code value; and associating the first network-enabled device and the least second network-enabled device in response to utilizing the special rate code value, where associating includes exchanging packet information with the at least second network-enabled device based on the special rate code value and the network capabilities of the second network-enabled device. - View Dependent Claims (32)
