Abstract
Methods, apparatuses, and computer programs are presented for operation during a network discovery process of a scanning device attempting to detect presence of wireless networks. During the network discovery process, the scanning device itself may transmit scanning messages by using duplicate transmission in which multiple scanning messages are transmitted simultaneously on different channels. According to another aspect, a wireless apparatus of a wireless network may transmit scanning messages by using the duplicate transmission to facilitate the detection of the wireless network by the scanning device.
