Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2006054232A1] A method of wireless communication includes setting an association time-out (AT) period (207) for each of a plurality of wireless stations (102,103) in a wireless network (100). The method also includes probing (209) each of the stations at least once after the AT expires; and if, after probing, a reply is not received from one of the stations (103), disassociating the one station (103) from the network. A wireless network is also described.
