Abstract:
Example method includes: receiving, by a first access point, a plurality of beamforming feedback frames from a plurality of client devices in a WLAN; overhearing, by the first access point, a first beamforming feedback frame from a second access point; calculating, by the first access point, a second beamforming feedback frame in response to receiving a sounding frame transmitted from the second access point in the WLAN; selecting, by the first access point, a first subset of the plurality of client devices and the second access point as members of a MU-MIMO group; changing, by the first access point, a steering matrix corresponding to the MU-MIMO group based on both the received plurality of beamforming feedback frames and the calculated beamforming feedback frame to allow the first access point and the second access point transmit on a particular wireless communication channel simultaneously without interfering each other.
