Abstract:
A transmission type is determined for a specific station on a Wi-Fi network. A transmission type of OFDMA is selected responsive to the mobility value for the specific station meeting a mobility threshold. A transmission type of MU-MIMO is selected responsive to the similarity value for the specific station meeting a similarity threshold. A transmission type of SU-MIMO is selected responsive to the specific station not meeting the similarity threshold. The network interface transmits data packets to stations using OFDMA, SU-MIMO or MU-MIMO as selected.
