First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- receiving, by a network device, wireless frames associated with a client device on a wireless network over a channel;
monitoring, by the network device, the wireless frames, wherein monitoring includes tracking information about the wireless frames;
halting, by the network device, channel scanning operations when one or more wireless frames indicate that the client device is in a power-save mode; and
continuing, by the network device, the channel scanning operations when one or more wireless frames indicate that the client device is not in the power-save mode.

25. A computer-program product tangibly embodied in a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of a network device, including instructions to cause one or more processors of the network device to:
-
receive wireless frames associated with a client device on a wireless network; monitor the wireless frames, wherein monitoring includes tracking information about the wireless frames; halt channel scanning operations when one or more wireless frames indicate that the client device is in a power-save mode; and continue the channel scanning operations when one or more wireless frames indicate that the client device is not in the power-save mode. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36)
