The invention proposes to generate a new MAC address for a non-AP station while being associated with an AP station, for use when associating again with the same AP station. For privacy reason, the same new MAC address is generated locally at both the non-AP station and the AP station using a shared function. This is done in a synchronized manned, preferably at the end of the association, e.g. when disassociating. The non-AP station disassociates with the AP station, and at any time in the future, it may associate again with the same AP station using this new MAC address. The AP station is therefore able to recognize the non-AP station, while outside observers only see a new MAC address and thus see a new non-AP station associating with the AP station. User privacy is therefore reinforced over time as the non-AP station associates multiple times to the same AP.
