Congestion adapted active scan dwell time

摘要

Methods, systems, and apparatuses are described for adaptive dwell time for scan procedures. An access terminal (AT) may identify a scan period associated with performing a scan procedure on a first channel. The AT may analyze a channel congestion metric during the scan period and determine based, at least in part, on the channel congestion metric whether to exit the first channel. The AT may provide a probe request for transmission on a second channel during a remaining portion of the scan period based on the determination to exit the first channel.
