Active scanning of AP

[robelino]

Hello everyone,

About active scanning: Can the STA send data packets through the active scanning? In other words, through the active scanning the STA needs to check every channel by sending “probe request” and waits for an AP-response for specific time to decide leaving this channel and checking the next one. So, is it possible, that the STA can do this parallel with data transmitting on the associated channel?

What I read in the standard 802.11 explain only the active scanning process. In comparison to the WLAN-Functionality it wouldn’t be possible that the STA can transmit data through the checking of other channels by active scanning process, but I’m still not sure. Can anybody tell me something about, espicially about Cisco experience in this field?

Thanks in advance,

Robel Daher

None of the materials I checked talk about this, did you ever get an answer on it?

Unfortunately i didn't get an answer on it, i didn't fina any material about this matter. Maybe i need to measure the data throughput on a STA through an active scanning.
