Abstract
Described are apparatus and methods for adapting a mobile unit to communication requirements of a particular country or geographic region. A wireless local area network communications system may include access points and remote terminals. Remote terminals may use country-specific information in messages from an access point to adapt to the communications requirements of the country in which the access point is operating. The country-specific information may be in a broadcast transmission or a message sent in reply to a remote terminal probe message. The country-specific information may include operating requirements such as channel information, power information, country name, modulation information, etc.
