Methods and Systems for Varying Channel Scanning Duration

摘要

A device that includes one or more processors may receive instructions to scan, at a given time, one or more channels in one or more frequency bands for presence of wireless devices in an environment of the device. The device may also identify one or more operations of the device that are occurring at the given time. The device may also adjust a duration of scanning the one or more channels based on the identified operations. The device may also cause a wireless receiver of the device to scan, for the adjusted duration, the one or more channels for the presence of the wireless devices.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
receiving, by a device that includes one or more processors, instructions to scan one or more channels in one or more frequency bands for presence of wireless devices in an environment of the device; determining an indication of a rate of power consumption of a particular component of the device; based on at least the rate of power consumption, determining a duration of scanning the one or more channels; and causing a wireless receiver of the device to scan, for the determined duration, the one or more channels for the presence of the wireless devices.
