Currently, time taken to scan all supported channels on WCN6750 is ~8 seconds and connection time is almost 10 seconds. WCN6750 supports three Wi-Fi bands (i.e., 2.4/5/6 GHz) and the numbers of channels for scan come around ~100 channels (default case). Since the chip doesn't have support for DBS (Dual Band Simultaneous), scans cannot be parallelized resulting in longer scan times. Among the 100 odd channels, ~60 channels are in 6 GHz band. Therefore, optimizing the scan for 6 GHz channels will bring down the overall scan time. WCN6750 firmware has support to scan a 6 GHz channel based on co-located AP information i.e., RNR IE which is found in the legacy 2.4/5 GHz scan results. When a scan request with all supported channel list is enqueued to the firmware, then based on WMI_SCAN_CHAN_FLAG_SCAN_ONLY_IF_RNR_FOUND scan channel flag, firmware will scan only those 6 GHz channels for which RNR IEs are found in the legacy scan results. In the proposed design, based on NL80211_SCAN_FLAG_COLOCATED_6GHZ scan flag, driver will set the WMI_SCAN_CHAN_FLAG_SCAN_ONLY_IF_RNR_FOUND flag for non-PSC channels. Since there is high probability to find 6 GHz APs on PSC channels, these channels are always scanned. Only non-PSC channels are selectively scanned based on cached RNR information from the legacy scan results. If NL80211_SCAN_FLAG_COLOCATED_6GHZ is not set in the scan flags, then scan will happen on all supported channels (default behavior). With these optimizations, scan time is improved by 1.5-1.8 seconds on WCN6750. Similar savings have been observed on WCN6855.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
