A method, apparatus, and software containing computer readable code to
implement the method implemented in a first wireless device. The method
includes, for a particular network identifier active in a wireless
network, transmitting frames configured to advertise the infrastructure
network of the particular network identifier. The transmitting of
off-channel beacons is in a provided channel different than the channel
in which the access point of the infrastructure wireless of the
particular network identifier transmits beacon frames. The transmitting
of off-channel beacons further is at a rate higher than the beacon rate
frame at which the access point of the infrastructure wireless of the
particular network identifier transmits beacon frames.
