METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR SPECTRAL SCANNING WITHIN A NETWORK

摘要

In some embodiments, an apparatus includes a spectral scanning controller configured to interrupt service at a wireless access point (WAP) such that the WAP performs spectral scanning during service interruption. The spectral scanning controller is configured to interrupt service at the WAP at a first scanning frequency when the spectral scanning controller is in a first configuration. The spectral scanning controller is configured to interrupt service at the WAP at a second scanning frequency different from the first scanning frequency when the spectral scanning controller is in a second configuration. The spectral scanning controller is configured to move from the first configuration to the second configuration in response to a change in at least one of a service demand, a service quality, a spectral scanning demand or a spectral scanning quality.

1. An apparatus, comprising:
a spectral scanning controller implemented in at least one of a processor or a memory, the spectral scanning controller configured to interrupt service at a wireless access point (WAP) and cause the WAP to perform spectral scanning during service interruption, the spectral scanning controller configured to interrupt service at the WAP at a first scanning frequency when the spectral scanning controller is in a first configuration, the spectral scanning controller configured to interrupt service at the WAP at a second scanning frequency different from the first scanning frequency when the spectral scanning controller is in a second configuration, the spectral scanning controller configured to move from the first configuration to the second configuration in response to a change in at least one of a service demand, a service quality, a spectral scanning demand, or a spectral scanning quality.
