CHANNEL SCANNING METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR WIRELESS NETWORKS

摘要

The disclosure discloses a method and a system for channel scanning in a wireless network. The method includes that an Access Point (AP) and/or Non-AP Stations (STAs) associated with the AP performs channel scanning according to one or more of the following ways: Way A: the AP performs Overlapping Basic Service Set (OBSS) channel scanning on channels within one or more different channelizing sets with a same period or with different periods; Way B: part or all of STAs associated with the AP perform OBSS channel scanning on channels within one or more different channelizing sets with a same period or with different periods; and Way C: the AP or part or all of STAs associated with the AP performs single OBSS channel scanning on one or more channelizing sets under event triggering. With the present disclosure, the channel scanning procedure of an equipment supporting multiple channelizing set schemes under circumstance of OBSS is planned.
