Abstract
A wireless client device communicates, to an access point over a secure channel, a mapping of a dynamic device address to a stable device address. By communicating the mapping, the access point is able to determine that packets received from two different device addresses originate from a common device. The access point is then able to maintain an association between the originating device and other network resources assigned or allocated to the originating device, such as IP addresses or infrastructure station address, which is used to identify the originating device to other devices outside the network in some embodiments.
