According to one embodiment of the invention, a non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions which, when executed by one or more hardware processors, cause performance of operations comprising entering, by a first access point associated with a wireless network, a first mode for collecting network data from one or more access points associated with the wireless network, entering, by the first access point, a second mode for transmitting data to and from one or more client devices associated with the wireless network, and when a number of access points associated with the wireless network is greater than or equal to a number of channels of the wireless network, (i) collecting, by the first access point, network data of a first channel of the wireless network and (ii) receiving, by the first access point, network data of a second channel of the wireless network from a network coordination device is shown.

Method and apparatus for inferring wireless scan information without performing scanning or performing limited scanning

System and methods are provided for dynamically setting a threshold signal-to-noise ratio for probe requests for one or more access points in a wireless network based on several factors, including density/distance between access points and/or current and expected load on access points. By dynamically adjusting a threshold signal-to-noise for probe requests, the systems and methods described herein may efficiently utilize resources based on current and/or expected conditions. In particular, an access point may ignore client device probe requests when another access point may be better positioned to handle such a request and/or when the access point would be unable to meet expected load requirements if such an associate were made.
