Claim:
1. A non-transitory machine readable medium comprising instructions which, when executed by one or more hardware processors, causes performance of operations comprising: transmitting, by a network device, one or more frames to quiet one or more other devices from transmitting WiFi transmissions on a first channel, wherein the one or more other devices refrain from transmitting WiFi transmissions on the first channel, for a period of time, based on the one or more frames received from the network device; measuring activity on the first channel for the period of time during which the one or more other devices refrain from transmitting WiFi transmissions based on the one or more frames received from the network device; scanning a second channel to capture spectrum information associated with the second channel in response to the transmitting mechanism transmitting the one or more frame; extrapolating the spectrum information captured from scanning the second channel at an interval that is less frequent than a typical interval for real-time display of spectrum information; and constructing real-time spectrum information based on the extrapolated spectrum information.
