nmcli device wifi list rescanning time

[farishajdarpasic]

Hello. So, I was using this command nmcli device wifi list for specific interface, to gather list of all available WiFi acces points. But, for my project, I need to get correct data (list of all available WiFi APs) with higher rate of update (lets say 10Hz, or 1 Hz). But as far as I can see, this command is not giving very fast changes of information, rate of change of data that it gives is slower than 10Hz or 1Hz.

So for example, if my robot is moving, it would be beneficial for me to get information about all available APs with rate 10 or 1 Hz, because I will need to localize that robot based on this. But this command is giving me same values of available APs, for longer period of time.

Just for understanding, if I want rate to be 1Hz, and my robot is moving very very fast through environment, ideally, list of all available access points and their information, should be different each 1 second (that's why I assumed robot is moving really fast). But it seems that this command, would give me like, for example, for first 5 seconds everytime same data, and then it will change but then stay same for next 5 seconds, and so on.

So I would like somehow that this command (or other command if you know of it) can give very current results, even if my rate is 1Hz or 10Hz (I do not need more than 10-20 Hz) of update.

I would be very greateful, if you could provide me this information.
