Abstract
Systems, devices, and techniques are described for communication node scanning and association in a wireless communication network. An illustrative method includes receiving, via a first channel, identifying information that identify a plurality of communication nodes that are configured to communicate via at least a second channel. The illustrative method further includes initiating communication, via at least the second channel, with a communication node based, at least in part, on the identifying information.
Claims20
A method for wireless communication, comprising:
- receiving, by a recipient communication node via a first channel associated with a first source communication node, at least one first message including multiple sets of parameters,
- wherein each set of parameters is associated with one of a plurality of source communication nodes configured to communicate with the recipient communication node,
- wherein each set of parameters includes a parameter that identifies a wake-up channel associated with the one of the plurality of source communication nodes,
- wherein the plurality of source communication nodes includes the first source communication node or a second source communication node;
- performing scanning on one or more wake-up channels, wherein one or more durations when the recipient communication node stays on the one or more wake-up channels is determined by the first source communication node;
- and
- initiating communication, based on the scanning and via at least a second channel, with the second source communication node based on the at least one first message received via the first channel,
- wherein the second channel is indicated in a set of parameters for the first source communication node or the second source communication node in the at least one first message.

A method for wireless communication, comprising:
- transmitting, by a first source communication node via a first channel to a recipient communication node, at least one message including multiple sets of parameters,
- wherein each set of parameters is associated with one of a plurality of source communication nodes configured to communicate with the recipient communication node,
- wherein each set of parameters includes a parameter that identifies a wake-up channel associated with the one of the plurality of source communication nodes,
- wherein the plurality of source communication nodes includes the first source communication node or a second source communication node,
- wherein a second channel is indicated in a set of parameters for the second source communication node in the at least one message;
- and
- wherein the first source communication node determines one or more durations when the recipient communication node stays on one or more wake-up channels.

- wherein the plurality of source communication nodes includes the first source communication node or a second source communication node;
- perform scan on one or more wake-up channels, wherein one or more durations when the recipient communication node stays on the one or more wake-up channels is determined by the first source communication node;
- and
- initiate communication, based on the scanning and via at least a second channel, with the second source communication node based on the at least one first message received via the first channel,
- wherein the second channel is indicated in a set of parameters for the first source communication node or the second source communication node in the at least one first message.
