Abstract:
1. Logic encoded in a non-transitory, tangible, computer readable medium of execution by a processor and when executed operable to: associate with a parent access point having a first radio type; scan for discovery of a first set of access points using a first radio having an address, the first radio is associated with an apparatus, and the first radio corresponding to a first radio type to detect signals from neighboring access points of the first radio type; scan for discovery of a second set of access points, using a second radio having the address, the second radio is associated with the apparatus, and the second radio being different than the first radio and corresponding to a second radio type to detect signals from neighboring access points of the second radio type; determine one of the group consisting of regulatory class, physical layer type value and channel number value from a signal received during one of the group consisting of the scan for discovery of the first set of access points of a first radio type and the scan for discovery of the second set of access points of the second radio type; generate a single report comprising the results of the scan for the discovery of the first set of access points of the first radio type and the scan for the discovery of the second set of access points of the second radio type, the single report comprises: i) data representative of the first set of access points detected during the scanning using the first radio, and ii) data representative of the second set of access points detected during the scanning using the second radio; and send the single report to the parent access point using the address.
