System, method, and computer program product for scanning frequency bands

摘要

The invention is directed to systems, methods and computer program products for scanning frequency bands at a device in order to find a network. An exemplary method comprises substantially simultaneously scanning a first frequency band using a first receive chain in the device and a second frequency band using a second receive chain in the device; determining, based on priority information accessed by the device, whether a first network found on the first frequency band has priority over a second network found on the second frequency band; and determining whether to connect the device to the first network or the second network based on determining whether the first network has priority over the second network.

主权项

1. A method for scanning frequency bands at a device in order to find a network, the method comprising:
receiving, at a single radio frequency (RF) receive chain, a signal; splitting the signal into first and second channels, wherein the first channel comprises a first frequency band and the second channel comprises a second frequency band that is different from the first frequency band; in response to splitting the signal, substantially simultaneously scanning the first frequency band and the second frequency band; determining, based on priority information accessed by the device, whether a first network found on the first frequency band has priority over a second network found on the second frequency band; and determining whether to connect the device to the first network or the second network based on determining whether the first network has priority over the second network.
