CONSOLIDATION OF MANAGEMENT COMMUNICATIONS IN A NETWORK ENVIRONMENT

A communication resource generates a communication to indicate a primary identifier assigned to a wireless network. Additionally, the communication resource populates the communication with data indicating that the wireless network includes multiple available wireless sub-networks. The communication resource broadcasts the communication as a wireless signal in an airspace. A mobile communication device receives the broadcasted wireless signal. The mobile communication device processes the received wireless signal to learn of a primary identifier assigned to the available wireless network. The mobile communication device further processes the data received in the wireless communication to learn of secondary identifiers (which may require retrieval or be located in the received communication) specifying the different wireless sub-networks that are available. Via selection of one of the secondary identifiers, the user or mobile communication device selects a corresponding one of the multiple available wireless sub-networks to establish a wireless communication link.
