Abstract

Systems and methods for channel scanning for multirole device are disclosed. One implementation relates to a method for servicing functions by a multirole device. The method comprises dividing a channel scan over a plurality of channels into a plurality of channel scan time periods, and repeatedly time division multiplexing a time period for the servicing of one of a station (STA) function and an access point (AP) function, a time period for the servicing of the other of the STA function and the AP function, and a channel scan time period for each of the plurality of channel scan time periods.
