Claims19
A method, comprising:
- receiving a data communication from a first access point on a first receiver associated with a wireless device;
- and
- while receiving said data communication, using a second receiver associated with said wireless device to scan for another access point.
A method, comprising:
- receiving data communications from an access point on multiple receivers in a wireless device;
- and
- causing said multiple receivers to cease receiving data communications and, instead, using said multiple receivers to scan for another access point.
A wireless device, comprising:
- a plurality of receivers;
- and
- logic coupled to said receivers, said logic causes at least one receiver to receive data communications from an access point while at least one other receiver concurrently scans for another access point.
A wireless device, comprising:
- a plurality of receivers, each configured to receive data communications from an access point;
- and
- logic coupled to said receivers, said logic causing said plurality of receivers to scan for another access point instead of receiving data communications.
A system, comprising:
- means for receiving data communications from a first access point on a first receive chain in a wireless device;
- and
- means for using a second receive chain to scan for another access point while receiving said data communications.
