Abstract

The invention relates to a method for network discovery in a wireless communication network comprising communication devices sending announcement signals regularly with a period being equal to or exceeding a predefined minimum announcement interval, wherein a first communication device

a) communicates with a second communication device during a data exchange phase on a first channel;b) freezes the communication with the second device by signalling a freezing message terminating the data exchange phase;c) scans for the announcement signal of third communication devices on a second channel in a scan phase, wherein the scan phase duration is shorter than the minimum announcement interval;d) unfreezes the communication with the second communication device by signalling an unfreezing message; ande) repeats steps a) through d).
