METHODS, MEDIA, AND DEVICES FOR MOVING A CONNECTION FROM ONE POINT OF ACCESS TO ANOTHER POINT OF ACCESS
First Claim
1. A method for facilitating moving a connection from one point of access to another point of access, comprising:
- receiving a request for information from a first mobile node at least one other mobile node, wherein the request for information contains first information identifying at least one point of access including a basic service set identifier (BSSID);
determining at the at least one other mobile node second information identifying at least one other point of access based at least in part on the request; and
sending a response containing the second information identifying the at least one other point of access and statistics of the at least one other point of access.

Abstract
Systems, methods, media, and devices for providing cooperation among digital processing devices in wireless networks are provided. In some embodiments, methods for moving a connection from one point of access to another point of access are provided, sending a request for information from a first mobile node to at least one other node, wherein the request for information contains first information identifying at least one point of access; receiving a response containing second information identifying at least one point of access from the at least one other node; and establishing a connection between the first mobile node and a point of access identified in the second information. In some embodiments, devices that can move a connection from one point of access to another point of access are provided.

9. A method for moving a connection from one point of access to another point of access, comprising:
-
sending a request for information from a first mobile node to at least one other node, wherein the request for information identifies a basic service set identifier (BSSID); receiving a response identifying at least one point of access corresponding to the BSSID; sending a request for a Media Access Control (MAC) address to the identified at least one point of access; receiving a response containing the MAC address; and establishing a connection between the first mobile node and the point of access corresponding to the BSSID using the Media Access Control address. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 23, 24)

13. A device that can facilitate moving a connection from one point of access to another point of access, comprising:
-
an interface in communication with a network; a memory; and a processor in communication with the memory and the interface;
wherein the processor;receives a request for information from a first mobile node, wherein the request for information contains first information identifying at least one point of access including a basic service set identifier (BSSID); determines second information identifying at least one other point of access based at least in part on the request; and sends a response containing the second information identifying the at least one other point of access and statistics of the at least one other point of access. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A device that can facilitate moving a connection from one point of access to another point of access, comprising:
-
an interface in communication with a network; a memory; and a processor in communication with the memory and the interface;
wherein the processor;sends a request for information to at least one other node, wherein the request for information identifies a basic service set identifier (BSSID); receives a response identifying at least one point of access corresponding to the BSSID; sends a request for a Media Access Control (MAC) address to the identified at least one point of access; receives a response containing the MAC address; and establishes a connection with the point of access corresponding to the BSSID using the Media Access Control address. - View Dependent Claims (22)
