A wireless communication system comprises wireless access points arranged to communicate with wireless communication units using mm wave radio communication links formed in communication sub-channels that are given by a bandwidth, a channel frequency, a large frequency offset, and a small frequency offset. The access points transmit beacons and the communication units seek to discover access points by scanning. A scanner of the communication unit scans communication sub-channels for a beacon transmitted by a wireless access point and terminates the scan if a beacon is detected. The scan order is arranged to keep the small frequency offset fixed while varying the large frequency offset. A controller controls a communication circuit to set up a mm wave radio communication link to the access point of a detected beacon. This may allow faster scanning with typically an improved and faster detection of a beacon from a suitable access point.

Mm wave wireless communication unit and system

A mm wave radio communication mesh network comprises a wireless node apparatus comprising a plurality of wireless modems () and a configuration controller () arranged to perform a node configuration arranged to configure the wireless modems () as access point wireless modems or non-access point wireless modems. The configuration controller () determines a set of access point wireless modems that have no connection and control them to scan for access point beacons. It then controls a wireless modem that has detected an access point beacon to connect to the access point wireless modem transmitting the beacon. If the connection is successful, the configuration controller () proceeds to configure the wireless modem as a non-access point wireless modem and otherwise it is configured as an access point wireless modem.
