Abstract
A method for providing a mode of wireless local area network (WLAN) operation includes: sending beacons from an access point (AP) in a discovery channel; sending an association request from a wireless station (STA) to the AP over the discovery channel; receiving an association response from the AP at the STA over the discovery channel in response to the association request; and after associating with the AP, switching between the discovery channel and a scheduled access channel to provide wireless communication between the AP and the STA based on a traffic condition and a bandwidth requirement.
