What is the proper process (api calls/structure references) to get the live real time signal strength of the currently connected AP when running in station mode? The live real time info rather than what it was when the connection was made. wiced_ap_info_t  info->signal_strength? this one?

Also getting the currently connected SSID.

To get currently connected AP's signal strength:

Use wwd_wifi_get_rssi()

To get currently connected SSID:

WICED does not have API to get currently connected SSID.

It's usually store in DCT, so you can get SSID from DCT.

However, it's also fine for application to run-time join another AP without storing setting

in DCT. In this case, you need to cache the successfully joined AP's SSID by yourself.

You can get the rssi and connected ssid by wwd_wifi_get_ap_info().
