Abstract

Beacons may be grouped to facilitate neighbor discovery in a wireless network. For example, neighboring access devices such as IEEE 802.11 access points may cooperate to transmit beacons in a group. In this way, a wireless device seeking to discover the neighboring access devices may scan for the beacons for a shorter period of time. An indication may be provided to enable a wireless device to more efficiently scan the beacons. For example, the indication may indicate the channel the wireless device should scan to receive the next beacon that is to be transmitted. In addition, the indication may include information relating to the transmission time of the next beacon.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates generally to communications, and to discovering neighboring devices in a wireless system. Background technique [0002] A wireless local area network ("WLAN"), such as an IEEE 802.11-based network, enables wireless devices within the coverage area of ​​the network to communicate with each other and, typically, other devices coupled to another network. For example, an 802.11-based access point may include radio components for communicating with mobile stations within its coverage area, as well as some form of connection to another network (eg, a wide area network such as the Internet). [0003] In some applications, several WLANs can be deployed as adjacent networks to provide a wider common coverage area. For example, in an enterprise deployment, several access points may be spread throughout an institution (eg, a building or campus) such that the coverage areas of adjacent access points overlap to some extent. In this...
