Abstract  Abstract

Methods and apparatus are described for communicating and / or using device performance information. Device capability information may be broadcast by a device using a first protocol. The first protocol may be a beacon signal based protocol. The device capability information is used to select a device configuration and / or a second protocol to be used for communicating user data. In some embodiments, the first protocol is a low bit rate protocol supporting less than 300 bits / second, while the second protocol in some embodiments supports data rates in the range of kilobits / second or even higher data rates. It is a much higher rate protocol to support it. The second protocol typically communicates information using the signal phase, while the first protocol does not use the signal phase in embodiments that are plural but not necessarily all.



Device performance information, beacon signal burst, beacon symbol, beacon signaling, device configuration
