DYNAMICALLY MODIFYING SCANNING METHODS AND/OR CONFIGURATIONS
First Claim
1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising a set of instructions which, when executed by one or more hardware processors, causes performance of a set of operations comprising:
- identifying, during a first scan of a segment of a radio frequency spectrum of channels, a particular value for a parameter for at least a portion of a first channel of the radio frequency spectrum;
responsive to identifying the particular value, modifying one or more scanning configurations comprising;
a width of one or more channels from the first scan;
ora primary channel in the one or more channels from the first scan;
performing a second scan using the modified scanning configurations.

Abstract
Adapting scanning of frequency channels of different or varying widths to collect wideband spectrum data is disclosed. Scanning methods and/or configurations are modified based upon the type and signal strength of the interferers present or expected in the spectrum. The system includes: selecting a portion for scanning, wherein the portion includes contiguous and non-contiguous segments, partitioning the selected portion into a first plurality of channels, where at least two of the plurality of channels have different widths, each of the first plurality of channels including contiguous or non-contiguous segments; during a first scan of the selected portion, scanning the selected portion of the radio frequency spectrum at least by scanning a first channel with a first width and scanning a second channel with a second width that is different than the first width; and based on the first scan, collecting data representing the selected portion of the radio frequency spectrum.

15. A non-transitory machine-readable medium comprising a set of instructions which, when executed by one or more hardware processors, causes performance of a set of operations comprising:
-
selecting at least a portion of a radio frequency spectrum for scanning, the portion including at least one of contiguous and non-contiguous segments of the radio frequency spectrum; partitioning the portion of the radio frequency spectrum selected into a first plurality of channels, at least two of the first plurality of channels having different widths, each of the first plurality of channels including at least one of the contiguous and non-contiguous segments; during a first scan of the portion of the radio frequency spectrum selected, scanning the portion of the radio frequency spectrum selected, at least by scanning a first channel with a first width and scanning a second channel with a second width that is different from the first width; and based on the first scan, collecting data representing the portion of the radio frequency spectrum selected. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)
