Abstract
Systems and methods are described for concurrent usage and scanning of wireless channels, particularly with respect to dynamic frequency selection (DFS) and non-DFS channels.
Claims25
A method for wireless communication comprising:
- setting a current operating channel of a primary radio to a dynamic frequency selection (DFS) channel;
- scanning a plurality of available channels using a secondary radio;
- determining a channel score for each of the available channels;
- and
- while operating the primary radio on the DFS channel:
- determining a candidate DFS backup channel for the primary radio based on the channel scores and further based on an initial vetting of the candidate DFS backup channel using a first set of vetting parameters;
- detecting a primary radio event on the current operating channel of the primary radio;
- and
- responsive to detecting the primary radio event and based on continued vetting of the candidate DFS backup channel using a second set of vetting parameters, switching the current operating channel of the primary radio from the DFS channel to the candidate DFS backup channel.
