The claimed subject matter includes techniques for migrating wireless channels. An example method includes initiating, via a first media access controller on an integrated circuit chip, a first connection on a first wireless channel. The example method also includes performing, via a second media access controller on the integrated circuit chip, a scan on additional wireless channels using a second media access controller. The example method also includes detecting, via the second media access controller, an available wireless channel from the additional wireless channels. The method further includes migrating, via the first media access controller, the first connection from the first wireless channel to the available wireless channel. The method further includes combining the second access media controller with the first media access controller to provide increased throughput or signal quality on the available wireless channel.
A system for wireless channel migration, the system being disposed on a single integrated circuit chip, the system comprising:
A method for migrating between wireless channels, comprising:
One or more computer-readable memory storage devices for storing computer readable instructions that, when executed by one or more processing devices, instruct the migration of wireless channels, the computer-readable instructions comprising code to:
