Summary:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a search procedure for identifying and optionally associating with a wireless node such as an access point.SOLUTION: An access terminal scans nearby access points and maintains a candidate list of access points with which the access terminal may associate in the event the access terminal's communication with its current access point deteriorates for some reason. This search procedure may be performed in a proactive manner, and thereby the access terminal repeatedly performs scans and updates its list of candidate access points when it is powered on. In some aspects, the search procedure used by the access terminal may be based on a state of a wireless device. In addition, different states of the access terminal may be associated with different optimization criteria.
