Systems and methods are disclosed for facilitating a scanning process to obtain information about available WLANs operating within range. Scanning information already obtained by one or more wireless communications devices may be shared with another wireless communications device, thereby reducing the time spent by performing scans by other wireless communications device. As desired, shared scanning information may be used preferentially depending on one or more metrics characterizing the information, such as the age of the scanning information or the relative distance to the sharing wireless communications device. |
