Dedicated channel for fast initial link setup in a wireless network
An access point may advertise (e.g., broadcast) identifying information (e.g., a neighbor report and access point capability information) on a dedicated channel in a wireless network. The identifying information may include information about neighboring access points in the wireless network. The neighboring access points may operate on the dedicated channel, a different primary operating channel, or a combination thereof. A station entering the wireless network may scan the dedicated channel to detect the identifying information from the access point to aid relatively quick discovery of the neighboring access points without scanning multiple channels.
