ABSTRACT:
The service set identification (SSID) of an access point (AP) in a wireless local area network (WLAN), where the AP suppresses its SSID in beacon frames broadcasted by the AP, is determined. At a detector located in the WLAN, a probe request broadcasted by a station through the WLAN is received. At the detector, a probe response sent by the AP to the station through the WLAN in response to the probe request broadcasted by the station is received. At the detector, the SSID of the AP is obtained from the received probe response.
