发明名称 System coordinated WLAN scanning
摘要 The invention proposes a scan control device, wherein in the scan operation a network detection is performed, the device comprising a request receiving means (41) for receiving at least one request for providing scan information, and a scan control means (42) for performing a scan operation independently from receiving the scan information requests. The invention also proposes a corresponding method and a computer program product.

主权项 1. A WLAN apparatus, comprising: a processor in a WLAN host device; and a memory in the WLAN host device including a computer program code and a plurality of applications seeking scan results, the memory and the computer program code configured to, with the processor, cause the apparatus at least toreceive a plurality of requests from more than one application to provide scan information, andreceive a plurality of maximum latency values indicating maximum delay times by which a scan operation may be delayed,perform the scan operation, wherein in the scan operation, a network detection is performed, andwherein the scan operation is performed independently from receiving the plurality of requests from more than one application to provide the scan information such that the timing of performing the scan operation is independent from the timing of the requests and the scan operation is not performed every time one of the requests from more than one application is received, andwherein an interval for performing the scan operation is based on a minimum value of the maximum latency values;allow the multiple applications to register for delayed scan results as the scan requests for scan information,send to the multiple applications the scan results based on a parameter included in the scan request, indicating the maximum latency value to execute the scan operation, and the memory and the computer program code are further configured to, with the processor, cause the WLAN apparatus at least to extract the maximum latency value from the request to provide scan information to each of the multiple applications simultaneously based on the parameter indicated in each individual scan request per the multiple applications.
