Abstract: Systems and methods reduce latency associated with establishing communication on a wireless network. In one aspect, an access point determines interface identifiers for associated stations. Because the access point can ensure interface identifiers are not duplicated across associated stations, the need for duplicate address detection by the stations is reduced. In another aspect, an access point provides domain name system server network address information to a station. By providing the network address information of the DNS server, the need for the station to perform separate signaling to obtain the information is reduced. In another aspect, an access point transmits a mapping of a first station's network address to the first station's medium access control address to one or more associated stations. This may reduce the need for an associated station to perform address resolution signaling when attempting to communicate with the first station.

Abstract: Methods, devices, and computer program products for optimization of branch synchronization node determination in a peer-to-peer network are disclosed herein. In one aspect, a higher-level node, such as a root node broadcasting master clock synchronization messages to other devices, may determine a dynamic signal strength threshold and send it in those synchronization messages. After receiving those messages, if finding the received signal strength of those messages is below the dynamic signal threshold, a receiving node will realize that it is relatively far away from the root node and hence may be a potential branch node to further relay those messages. This dynamic threshold may be determined to ensure that at least a certain percentage of receiving nodes are potential branch nodes, based on the received signal strengths of those nodes at the root node. This method can reduce device energy consumption by only requiring edge devices to relay the synchronization messages, and they can be dynamically identified based on the threshold. In addition, a branch node can also use the dynamic signal strength threshold to help the determination of its potential next-hop branch nodes.
