Abstract:
This disclosure describes systems, methods, and apparatus related to receiving, at an access point and from a wireless communication station, a media access control (MAC) address of the wireless communication station; assigning, at the access point, a prefix to the MAC address of the wireless communication station; receiving, at the access point and from the wireless communication station, a frame comprising the prefix and a random MAC address; replacing, at the access point and using the prefix, the random MAC address in the frame with the MAC address of the wireless communication station, thereby resulting in a processed frame; and transmitting, at the access point and to a destination device, the processed frame.
