Abstract
A channel scanning method and system at an MP within a mesh network associated with a local network are provided. A MAP sends a local management frame including information about a mesh network on an allocated local channel and sends a mesh management frame on a mesh channel indicated by the mesh network information. An MP scans a plurality of channels including the local channel and the mesh channel in an order of channels numbers, receives the local management frame by scanning the local channel, and receives the mesh management frame by scanning the mesh channel based on the mesh network information of the local management frame.
