How can I scan (unicast scanning) only one specific AP instead of scanning channels?

Is it possible to scan only a specific AP (unicast scanning) and display its Round-trip-time in android? (such as an AP deployed in IEEE 802.11b Channel 1). What i want to see is whether the scanning time intervals of my AP are different in case the AP is empty or highly loaded.

In order to scan all channels, I use the mainWifiObj2.startScan() function. This function returns the following list

List<ScanResult> wifiScanList1 = mainWifiObj1.getScanResults();

This list displays related information in all channels, such as SSIDs, MAC adresses, signal levels, and timestamps of all scanned channels, as is shown in this link.

First of all, do u know what the timestamp (shown in the linked image) means? I have launched my application both when the AP is empty and higly loaded with laptops (uploading/downloading files). However, the timestamp values of the channel, which my AP is connected, were too close to eachother in both scenarios.

In short, how can I scan (unicast scanning) only one specific AP instead of scanning channels?

Do you think it is because of MaxChTime durations? If so, How can I reduce the MaxChTime?

That's the TSF value.
