<p>The present invention relates to a method for surrogate monitoring on-air- information of a plurality of radio access points that are co-located by using an independent monitoring radio. In general, the monitoring radio performs scanning or monitoring of on-the-air information, specifically time variant parameters and time invariant parameters, specified by and on behalf of the radio access points in order to significantly free the resources required by the said radio access points to perform their normal operation. According to the present invention, the radio access points must be within the scanning vicinity of the monitoring radio and registered with a central manager, which can be determined by the step of radio access points discovery (210). Further, the present invention introduces steps of scan or monitor capability matching (220), synchronization (230), and qualification (240) to select, determine, and register the time variant parameters and time invariant parameters in a surrogate monitoring list, which is to be used by the monitoring radio as a reference to perform the scan or monitor task.</p> |
