Probe Response Frame

The format of the probe response is very close to the format of a beacon, because both frames answer the same questions: what are the specs of the cell?


wlan.fc.type_subtype == 0x0005

The following table shows elements and fields in a probe response frame body.
















































































The following things are differences between beacon and probe response.
  1. The beacon frame contains a TIM field; the probe response does not
  2. The beacon frame can contain a QoS Capability Information element that announces basic QoS support to the cell
  3. The probe response also contains the Requested Information elements that may have requested by the probing station.
