Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices are described for merging two or more power save enabled independent basic service set (IBSS) networks. In one example, a method includes receiving, at a station of a first IBSS network, a first beacon from a second IBSS network, wherein the first beacon identifies a timing synchronization function (TSF) of the second IBSS network. The method may further include transmitting, by the station, a second beacon at a next target beacon transmission time (TBTT) of the first IBSS network based on a comparison of the TSF of the second IBSS network with a TSF stored by the station, wherein the second beacon identifies a TSF of the second IBSS network.
Abstract:
This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for performing an enhanced network scan. In one aspect, during a network scan of a first frequency band, a station (STA) may provide a probe request to an access point (AP) of a communication network via the first frequency band. The probe request may indicate the STA supports communications in both the first frequency band and a second frequency band. Based on a probe response received from the AP, the STA may determine whether the AP supports communications in both the first frequency band and the second frequency band. The STA may determine to terminate the network scan without scanning the second frequency band in response to determining that the AP supports communications in both the first frequency band and the second frequency band.
