An apparatus, method and computer program product for facilitating one or more stations' (STAs) requests to an access point (AP) to be allowed an exemption regarding scanning of channels in a basic service set and allowing the AP to disallow STAs having visibility of certain channels to be exempt from scanning, although the traffic on a respective channel that the STAs are operating on is below a predetermined threshold, are provided. The apparatus may include a processor configured to receive requests for exemption from scanning adjacent channels to identify devices in a basic service set operating in the channels. The processor may also be configured to determine if a request(s) is received from a device(s) which determines that one of the channels is unavailable for use and when the determination reveals that a channel is unavailable for use, the processor is configured to disallow the device exemption. |
