ABSTRACT:
In a wireless local area network, transmissions exchanged between a station and an access point is received using a detector located adjacent to the station. The received transmissions are analyzed to determine the state of the station, where the state of the station indicates whether the station has authenticated and/or associated with the access point in the wireless local area network.
