Systems, methods, and devices for supplemental scanning in wireless networks

Abstract

Systems, methods, and devices implement supplemental scanning for establishing network connections in wireless networks. Methods include sending a request to a wireless device, the request including a plurality of scanning parameters, the plurality of scanning parameters identifying a plurality of requested wireless network parameters. Methods also include receiving a reply from the wireless device, the reply including a result of one or more scanning operations performed based on the plurality of scanning parameters. Methods further include selecting, using one or more processors, one or more network connection operations based, at least in part, on the result of the one or more scanning operations, the one or more network connection operations identifying a timing relative to a plurality of wireless projection packets. Methods additionally include performing, using the one or more processors, the one or more network connection operations based, at least in part, on the identified timing.
