Abstract
An access point device that is adapted to a wireless network and a wired network is disclosed. The access point includes a transceiver to receive wireless frames from a plurality of wireless devices of the wireless network, respectively, and at least one component to process information extracted from the wireless frames and to control channel scanning based upon at least one of an amount of wireless device traffic and a type of call.
Claims24
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions which, when executed by one or more hardware processors, cause performance of operations comprising:
- monitoring, by a network device, one or more conditions;
- scanning, by the network device, wireless traffic on the plurality of channels at least by periodically changing the channels being scanned;
- determining that the one or more conditions meets a particular criteria;
- responsive at least to determining that the one or more conditions meets a particular criteria:
- at least temporarily stopping, by the network device, the changing of the channels being scanned.
