I’m pretty sure that no matter how good your power management is, any cell phone’s battery will die long before its

And that might be the point of the scan - not to find the addresses in use, but to deplete the battery. That would 
have the effect of service denial.

Why bother scanning in that case vs. just repeatedly hammering the same address?
