Abstract: A wireless terminal, when operating in a system including co-located access points (APs), may, to save scan power, only scan for a second wireless network when the received signal strength indicator (RSSI) from a first wireless network (WAN) is above or below a certain threshold. The AP from a first WAN may obtain the RSSI of a second WAN from terminals in the coverage of the second WAN, and compute the RSSI edge of the second WAN. This RSSI edge forms a threshold where terminals may start scanning for the edge of the second WAN. In addition, a second AP may only turn on and transmit a beacon when terminals exist within its range, determined by the second AP based on communications of co-located APs. Finally, the AP may provide hierarchical beacon messages to terminal monitoring of beacons on WANs when no information is being transmitted on those WANs.

Abstract translation: 当在来自第一无线网络（WAN）的接收信号强度指示符（RSSI）时，无线终端在包括共同接入点（AP）的系统中操作时可以节省扫描功率，仅扫描第二无线网络， 高于或低于某一阈值。 来自第一WAN的AP可以从第二WAN的覆盖范围内的终端获取第二WAN的RSSI，并计算第二WAN的RSSI边。 该RSSI边缘形成阈值，其中终端可以开始扫描第二WAN的边缘。 此外，当终端存在于其范围内时，第二AP可以仅打开并发送信标，由第二AP基于同位置AP的通信确定。 最后，当在这些WAN上没有发送信息时，AP可以向WAN上的信标的终端监控提供分级信标消息。

Abstract: A method comprises receiving a first message over a first portion of a frequency bandwidth. The first message includes an identifier of a transmitting first wireless device and an intended recipient second wireless device. The method comprises determining whether a second portion of the frequency bandwidth is idle for a duration of time including at least one of a PIFS time and a time required for a backoff timer to expire. The method comprises transmitting a second message over the second portion of the frequency bandwidth by a third wireless device, the second message having a limited transmission time that is not to extend beyond a transmission time of the first message, thereby allowing an availability of the first and second portions for use after an end of the transmission time of the first message. The third wireless device is not an intended recipient of the first message.
