Methods, systems, and devices related to related to digital wireless communication, and more specifically, to techniques related to station controlled multi-access point transmission and retransmission. In one exemplary aspect, a method for wireless communication includes receiving a multi-network node capability indication message from a first network node and a second network node indicating that each of the first network node and the second network node are capable of transmitting multi-network node transmissions. The method also includes transmitting a multi-network node association request message to the first network node and the second network node to associate the first network node and second network node into a group of network nodes.
