Systems and methods for pre-association discovery of services on a network
Systems, methods, and devices for transmitting service information on a network are disclosed. In one aspect, a method for an access point for transmitting service information on a network is disclosed. The method includes receiving a multicast service query from a wireless device, the service query requesting information on one or more services offered on the network. The method further includes determining a signal strength of a wireless connection to the wireless device, based at least in part on the received service query. The method further includes comparing the signal strength of the wireless connection to a threshold signal strength value and selectively responding to the service query from the wireless device based at least in part on the signal strength of the wireless connection as compared to the signal threshold value.
