COMBINED BACKGROUND AND 20/40 COEXISTENCE SCAN

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide scanning mechanisms in wireless networks, which eliminate unnecessary 20/40 scanning thereby reducing power consumption in non-AP stations and increasing data traffic throughput.SOLUTION: A non-AP station receives 20/40 coexistence scan parameters. The 20/40 parameters and locally generated background scan parameters are used to determine combined scan parameter values for performing combined background and 20/40 scans.
