Abstract
Embodiments of a device and method are disclosed. In an embodiment, a method for wireless channel scanning involves at a cloud server, building a set of channels for off-channel scanning to be performed by a selected group of wireless access points (APs), at the cloud server, determining whether the set of channels for off-channel scanning can be further pruned to generate a final optimized list of channels for off-channel scanning, and at the cloud server, sending the final optimized list of channels for off-channel scanning to the selected group of wireless APs.
