Predefined roaming and idle channels |
摘要 |
In various embodiments, only a few selected channels are available to be used for scanning for a network controller in a wireless network. In various other embodiments, only a few selected channels are available to be used as an idle channel in a wireless network. In both cases, the channels available for such purposes are fewer in number than the channels available for operational communications. In some embodiments, these channels are in a different industry band than the channels used for operational communications. |

1. A method of communicating in a wireless network, comprising:
scanning only roaming channels in a pre-defined subset of available channels in a first industry band of channels to find an available network controller; identifying a particular network controller on a particular channel in the subset; forming an association with the particular network controller; and performing operational communications with the particular network controller on at least one operational channel different than any scanned roaming channel in the pre-defined subset of available channels. |
