Original Abstract Submitted

A wireless station () associates to an access point () of a wireless communication system. The access point () operates on a first wireless channel. While the wireless station () is associated to the access point (), the wireless station () receives periodically transmitted beacons on one or more second wireless channels, which are different from the first wireless channel, e.g., beacons from other access points (). Based on the received beacons, the wireless station () performs measurements for sensing one or more objects in an environment of the wireless station ().
