 After the beacon timeout happens, the station sends 5 probe requests to AP, it disconnects the AP and raises the event `WIFI_EVENT_STA_DISCONNECTED`_ if still no probe response or beacon is received from AP.
 
+It should be considered that the timer used for beacon timeout will be reset during the scanning process. It means that the scan process will affect the triggering of the event `WIFI_EVENT_STA_BEACON_TIMEOUT`_.

 beacon 超时发生后，station 将向 AP 发送 5 个 probe request，如果仍未从 AP 接收到 probe response 或 beacon，station 将与 AP 断开连接并产生 `WIFI_EVENT_STA_DISCONNECTED`_ 事件。
 
+需要注意的是，扫描过程中会重置 beacon 超时所使用的定时器，即扫描过程会影响 `WIFI_EVENT_STA_BEACON_TIMEOUT`_ 事件的触发。
