RESOLVING NODE IDENTIFIER CONFUSION
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of communication, comprising:
- receiving a first message for a first node identified by a first node identifier;
determining whether a second node is identified by the first node identifier; and
sending, as a result of the determination, a second message specifying use of a second node identifier to establish communication with the first node.

Abstract
Confusion resulting from assigning the same node identifier to multiple nodes is resolved through the use of confusion detection techniques and the use of unique identifiers for the nodes. In some aspects an access point and/or an access terminal may perform operations relating to detecting confusion and/or providing a unique identifier to resolve confusion.
