APPARATUS, SYSTEM AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING WIRELESS SCANNING

摘要

Some demonstrative embodiments include apparatuses, systems and/or methods of controlling wireless scanning. For example, an apparatus may include a radio to communicate with a wireless network; and a scan controller to control a wireless scan by the radio according to a scan pattern, the scan controller to determine a mobility state of the mobile device, the mobility state representing a combination of a velocity of the mobile device and an environment of the mobile device, and to determine the scan pattern based on the mobility state.

主权项

1. A mobile device comprising:
a radio to communicate with a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN); and a scan controller to control a WLAN scan by said radio according to a scan pattern, said scan controller to determine a mobility state of said mobile device, the mobility state representing a combination of a velocity of said mobile device and an environment type corresponding to an environment of said mobile device, and to determine said scan pattern based on said mobility state, said scan controller is to maintain one or more mobility tags corresponding to one or more respective WLAN Access Points (APs), a mobility tag corresponding to a WLAN AP indicating an environment type corresponding to a location of said WLAN AP, said scan controller is to determine said scan pattern based on a comparison between the environment type of the mobile device and the environment type of WLAN AP.
