Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus are described for provisioning wireless communication devices. One embodiment includes a communication device that determines an operating channel corresponding to an AP having the highest received signal strength measurement. The communication device operates in an AP mode with another communication device on this same channel to facilitate provisioning of the other communication device with the AP. Another embodiment includes a communication device that operates as a station in a first wireless network and as an AP in a second wireless network with another communication device. The communication device determines a transmission time waiting interval corresponding to communication device AP mode transmissions and divides the channels into groups that can be scanned within the transmission time waiting interval. The communication device scans these channel subgroups to identify other APs available for provisioning the other communication device.
