Abstract
An Access Point receives an encrypted data frame from a client device, and determines whether the encrypted data frame is a guest frame. If it determined that the frame is a guest frame, the Access Point transmits the encrypted data frame to a server for decryption by the server, and determines whether to transmit an ACK to the client device based on the encrypted data frame. Otherwise, the Access Point decrypts the encrypted data frame, and determines whether to transmit an ACK to the client device.
