Abstract
An access point (AP) may use historical Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) monitoring information to make a decision of whether to perform a DFS procedure on a particular channel. The historical information can be obtained from other APs, such as from other nearby APs. In this manner, historical DFS monitoring information, which was previously measured by the AP or by a nearby AP, can be used to improve the likelihood that a decision to perform the DFS procedure will result in a determination that a particular channel is useable.
