Transfer of messages to user devices of a wireless local area network access point
First Claim
1. A method of operating a wireless local area network (WLAN) access point, the method comprising:
- providing the WLAN for a user device to access a packet network, wherein the user device receives requested content transferred over the packet network through the WLAN access point;
receiving a message for delivery to the user device from a local interface of the WLAN access point;
in response to receiving the message for delivery to the user device, inhibiting transfer of the requested content received over the packet network to the user device;
transferring the message to the user device using addressing information associated with the requested content; and
in response to receiving a confirmation of the message from the user device, resuming transfer of the requested content to the user device.
