APPARATUS, AND ASSOCIATED METHOD, FOR REPORTING A MEASUREMENT SUMMARY IN A RADIO COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

Apparatus (38), and an associated method, for generating a message summary field (72). The message summary field (72) indicates whether 802.11-formatted data packets are communicated upon a frequency range to which a mobile station (12) operable in an IEEE 802.11 radio communication system (10) is tuned. An indicator (44) indicates whether an 802.11 data packet is detected. And, a reporter (56) generates a measurement summary (68) which includes a measurement summary field (72) populated with a value indicating the determination. Subsequent analysis of the value of the field (72) of the measurement summary (68) is utilized pursuant to dynamic frequency selection operations.
