CONCURRENCY-MODE SCAN SCHEDULING FOR WIRELESS DEVICES

摘要

A wireless device operates as both a station and one or more access points. In the wireless device, a scan window of a specified duration is requested to start at a first time, to scan for access points external to the wireless device in accordance with operation of the wireless device as a station. It is determined that a beacon scheduled for transmission or reception at a second time conflicts with the requested scan window. In response, the beacon is transmitted or received at the second time and at least a portion of the scan window is delayed until after the beacon has been transmitted or received.
