doc.: IEEE 802.11-10/0527r0 Submission Problem Description Large initial access delay of passive channel scanning is a problem for dot11 devices in TVWS. The problem comes from combinations of many channels (30) and 3 different bandwidth. Scanning time might be around 9,000 ms [2] relying on beacon frames. 2/8/2014 2

doc.: IEEE 802.11-10/0527r0 Submission Proposed Solution The Measurement Pilot frame defined in dot11k [1] which contains a subset of the information provided in a Beacon frame is used to assist a STA for scanning. The Measurement Pilot frame has a small interval relative to a Beacon interval which can reduce scanning time. A STA in TVWS still need to try combinations of various bandwidths. We propose to let an AP periodically transmit a 5 MHz Measurement Pilot frame in one of the channels used e.g., the lowest channel, for systems using more than 1 channel. 2/8/2014 3

doc.: IEEE 802.11-10/0527r0 Submission Conclusions An AP transmits 5 MHz Measurement Pilot frames periodically in one of the channels used can greatly reduce the scanning time and complexity of passive scanning process. Based on the received information contained in a 5 MHz Measurement Pilot frame, a STA can tune to the right bandwidth and join the network. 2/8/2014 5
